What are the settings to read my Princeton e-mail?
Solution:
OIT provides and maintains two distinct e-mail services for Princeton users
-- Exchange e-mail and IMAP e-mail. Before beginning to use or manage an
e-mail account, it is important to identify which mail service you are using.
Don't know which e-mail you use? Call the Help Desk at 8-HELP(4357) option
#1.
Before you use your e-mail for the first time, you must
activate your account.
Configuration settings for OIT recommended e-mail applications can be found below. Authenticated SMTP is required for outgoing messages and SSL is required for incoming message; sending and receiving e-mail will not work unless the configuration settings are correct. If you are using an Internet Service Provider (ISP) other than Princeton, be advised your ISP will need to provide your outgoing SMTP server setting.
