Note: The information provided below applies to all POP/IMAP email clients. For step-by-step instructions on configuring various email clients, please see Community Network's documentation here:
   Configuring Microsoft Outlook for Remote Access

To configure a POP/IMAP client, you will need the following information:

• Incoming Mail Server:
      exmail.oregonstate.edu
      Username: domain\username   -or-   e-mail.address@oregonstate.edu
      require a secure connection
      port: imap - 993 / pop - 995
• Outgoing Mail Server:
      exmail.oregonstate.edu
      requires authentication: domain\username
      require a secure connection
      port: 25

Problems Authenticating?

In the past we've seen email clients work better with the customer UPN instead of the pre-windows 2000 username or email address. Try using the UPN to solve this authentication problem, it's fairly common.

The following clients support SSL:

• Eudora 5.1, Windows/MAC, POP/IMAP
• Outlook Express 4+, Windows/MAC, POP/IMAP
• Netscape 4.x, Windows/MAC, IMAP
• Netscape 6.x, Windows/MAC, IMAP, 6.2 POP/IMAP
• AppleMail for OS X, 10.1.3, IMAP
• Mozilla 1.0, Windows/MAC, POP/IMAP
• Entourage X for OS X, IMAP
• Entourage 2001 for Mac, IMAP

Help with Eudora for the Mac

Eudora for the Mac requires that the Keychain extension be installed and that there is at least one keychain created on the machine. Open Control Panels, Keychain Access to create a keychain.

You will also need to configure Eudora to use Keychain, under Miscellaneous settings.

Configure Eudora as follows:

• SSL for POP Required (alternate port)
• SSL for SMTP Required (TLS)
• SSL for IMAP Required (alternate port)
• mail server: exmail.oregonstate.edu
• SMTP server: (leave blank - it's the same as the mail server)
