The following is an overview of the
configuration of
Outlook Express to connect to a student's Webmail account. This client was
chosen because it is free and installed on most computers running Microsoft
Windows and Internet Explorer. Outlook Express is included free with
Internet Explorer.
Note: This
document is very limited in scope and will not answer detailed questions about
the use or inner working of Microsoft Outlook Express.
- Generally, Outlook Express can be located
by going to Start > All Programs > Outlook Express.
- If you have never used Outlook Express
before you will need to configure it. The configuration wizard will open
automatically when Outlook Express is started for the first time, or by
clicking on the Setup a Mail account... link on the main page.
- Enter your name, as you would like it to
appear on the emails that you send:
- Enter your email address, including the @ups.edu
suffix:
- On the next window--Email Server Names--indicate
that you will be using a POP3 server and enter the following addresses:
Incoming Mail Server:
imap.ups.edu
Outgoing Mail Server:
smtp.ups.edu
- Your account name is the first half of
your email address (usually your first initial and last name). Type in
your webmail password, checking the box "remember password" if you would
like Outlook Express to save your password so you don't have to enter it
again:
- You have now completed the email account
setup and are ready to use Outlook Express:
- Email messages on the UPS mail
server will be automatically downloaded to your local computer and
removed from Webmail. Every 30 minutes, Outlook Express
will connect and check for new email messages. If Outlook Express
is running, you will be alerted when a new message arrives by a chime
and icon of an envelope appearing next to the clock in the lower
right-hand corner of your screen.
