2026-03-20 13:05:00 2026-05-30 13:05:00 Disabling of Email Sending via Port 587 (STARTTLS)
If you use Outlook, the Zimbra web interface (https://mail.desy.de), or an Exchange ActiveSync account on your mobile device to read your emails, you can ignore the following information.

On 12.05.2026, an insecure method for sending emails (SMTP/STARTTLS, Port 587) will be disabled. To ensure you can continue sending emails after this date, please check your email client (e.g., Thunderbird) for the following settings and adjust them if necessary:

- Server name: mail.desy.de
- Port: 465
- Encryption: "SSL/TLS" or "SSL"

General instructions for setting up email clients can be found on the following pages:
https://it.desy.de/services/e_mail/mail_clients

Note: Thunderbird installations managed via DSM will be updated automatically in advance.

2026-03-20 13:05:00 2026-05-30 13:05:00 Postponed: Disconnection of Sending Emails via SMTP Port 587 (STARTTLS)
This change, originally planned for April 14, 2026, is being postponed due to organizational reasons. We will inform you as soon as a new date has been set.

----------------

Sending via SMTP/STARTTLS (port 587) will be disabled. All users who currently use email clients or services that send emails via this port must take action and update their configuration in time.

Please ensure that all affected email clients are switched to the currently recommended and secure SSL/TLS protocol by this date.

In the future, the following settings must be used for sending emails:

Server name: mail.desy.de
port 465
encryption: SSL/TLS

Depending on the email client, the naming of these options may vary — some clients may display only “SSL” instead of “SSL/TLS”; in such cases, please select “SSL”.

Authentication is performed using a Zimbra Application Code (see documentation below). As username, you may use either your email address or your DESY username.

Further information and setup instructions can be found at:
https://it.desy.de/dienste/e_mail/mail_clients/index_ger.html
https://it.desy.de/dienste/e_mail/mail_clients/thunderbird/index_ger.html

Background: Due to known vulnerabilities, STARTTLS (also referred to as “Opportunistic TLS”) is no longer considered secure and will therefore be discontinued.
