E-mail Addresses
All St. Edward's University faculty, staff and students have a St. Edward's e-mail account. All faculty, staff and students will use the e-mail address login@stedwards.edu. Use the online directory or the Global Address Book in Zimbra WebMail to find a specific e-mail address.
E-mail Quotas:
Mail left on the server may not exceed the following quotas:
- Students: 250 MB
- Faculty and Staff: 500 MB
Web Mail
Zimbra is both our e-mail server and our web-based e-mail application. Web mail may be accessed via Zimbra Webmail, Zimbra Webmail Standard or Zimbra Mobile. You can select the Standard (HTML) or Mobile version from the drop down menu below the Log In button.
POP Mail
Incoming e-mail using POP settings (Eudora, Outlook, Mac Mail, Thunderbird) uses Secure POP settings. Outgoing e-mail will use an Authenticated SMTP server.
IMAP Mail
IMAP applications may also be used with our mail server, but retention of mail must be carefully considered by anyone choosing this option. Instructions are available for setting up IMAP for Outlook 2007. If you would like more information about IMAP options for other e-mail applications or have questions about IMAP please contact the Computer Help Desk.
Spam filtering:
St. Edward's has implemented a spam filtering application, CanIt. For more information on spam filtering and instructions on setting up e-mail filters for supported e-mail applications see Spam Filtering at St. Edward's University.
E-mail Safety:
All e-mail on St. Edward's servers is scanned for attachments which might contain viruses. All university owned computers and all student computers have access to free virus protection. However, new ways of infiltrating your computer's defenses are created everyday. For more information on protecting your computer and your privacy from "phishing", viruses and worms see E-mail Safety.
E-mail Retention:
E-mail that is not forwarded is stored on the mail server for 365 days. Mail older than 365 days will be deleted.
Attachments:
The file size limit for attachments is 20 MB. In addition, attachments with extensions commonly used to convey viruses are automatically stripped from incoming or outgoing e-mails. These include attachments with the extensions .zip, .exe. and .mdb. See E-mail Safety for a complete list of restricted attachment extensions.
Obtaining E-Mail Software
- Faculty/Staff: Outlook is installed on all Faculty/Staff computers and is available for checkout as part of the Microsoft Office 2007 installer available at the Computer Help Desk or Faculty Resource Center.
- Mac Mail is part of the standard Apple installation.
