Outlook Express

You will be setting up Outlook Express 6 to use Secure POP to check your email and to use a process called "authenticated SMTP" to send your email. Secure POP encrypts your password for a higher level of security. Authenticated SMTP means you canl use a St. Edward's University mail server (smtp.stedwards.edu) to send email from your computer from any location instead of using your RoadRunner, SBC or other service's outgoing mail server.

*Note: Previous versions of Outlook Express will not be supported. Please upgrade to Outlook Express 6 before proceeding.
