When you set up your account, for the incoming server, you want to use pop.siue.edu for a Pop3 account and imap.siue.edu for an Imap account.

For the outgoing server, you can only use smtp.siue.edu if you are on campus and not on the WiFi. If you're off campus, you'll need to contact your ISP for the smtp server to use.

Of course, if you happen to use the SIUE dial-up, you can then use smtp.siue.edu.
