Sending Patches using official Mail id

Sending Patches using official Mail id

[Raul Piper]

Hi,
How can I send the patches to the kernel mainline  using official mail
id using git-send?
I am using microsoft exchange server and outlook as a client.What
configuration i have to do on my linux or WIndows PC development
machine.
I have read about the IMAP configuration but not sure how to achieve
it.Can someone please post the full details.
Documentation/email-client.txt doesn't talk anything about the
Microsoft Exchange server.
Or using my gmail id would be the last resort?
Thanks in advance !
Regards,
Rp

`git send-email` is very handy. I think you should read the corresponding
manual page. It even has nice, very relevant examples to you as a kernel
developer.

What do you mean by "official mail id"?

Because almost always, exchange will corrupt patches.

Send one to yourself to try first.

But if you can use exchange as an imap server, great, use git send-email
that way and see what happens (again, test on yourself first.)
Instructions for how to set that up can be found in the man pages and by
asking your mail admin for the imap details.

That works well too.  Good luck!
