To use Microsoft Outlook 2002/2003 to check and send mail from your St. Edward's University account you will need to setup your incoming and outgoing mail servers.

You will be setting up Outlook 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.

To setup Microsoft Outlook 2002 to use the St. Edward's Mail Servers from any location:

1. Click on the Tools menu and select Email Accounts.

2. Make sure under the Email the “view or change existing e-mail accounts” is selected and click on “Next.”

3. Select the admin account and click on “Change…”

4. Change the Incoming mail server (POP3) to mail.stedwards.edu

5. Change the SMTP server to smtp.stedwards.edu

6. Next, click on More Settings…

7. Select the Outgoing Server tab and check the box “My outgoing mail server (SMTP) requires authentication.”

8. Select the Advanced tab and check the box under under Incoming server (POP3) that states “This server requires a secure connection (SSL). The port will automatically change to 995.

9. Check the box under Outgoing mail server (SMTP) that states “This server requires a secure connection (SSL). The port will automatically change to 25.

10. Click on Ok to save these settings.

11. Click on Next and then Finish. Note that the Test settings does not seem to work. Go ahead and send a real message to yourself.
