E-mail Information for Faculty

ON CAMPUS

Your office computer is installed with Microsoft Outlook 2003 (Windows users) or Microsoft Entourage 2004(Macintosh users) because these programs offer useful features such as calendaring and a central e-mail lookup directory, that are not present in programs such as Eudora or Outlook Express. In addition, Outlook and Entourage store and manage your mail directly on the Elmira College Exchange mail server. If you access mail from off campus with Outlook Web Access (refer to details below), then all your mail will be available to you.

E-mail client - Eudora, Outlook Express, Apple Mail - Not recommended

Although use of an e-mail client is no longer recommended because of the advantages of Outlook Web Access and the limitations and warnings cited below, you can still use Eudora, Outlook Express, or Apple Mail to download messages to your computer by changing your POP address.

The required settings are

POP3 address --> pop3f.elmira.edu (please note the "f" after 3)
Return address --> username@elmira.edu (replace username with your actual account name, e.g. mtwain08)
SMTP address
- off campus --> provided by your service provider. Do not use pop3f.elmira.edu
Password --> type in your e-mail password as requested

Limitations and warnings
When you check e-mail with your existing client only messages in your account's Inbox on the server will be downloaded to your PC or Mac. If there are other mail folders organized in your account on the Exchange server, then they will not be downloaded with a POP e-mail client.
