I want my Webmail email's to filter into my Microsoft Outlook.  What is the IMAP and SMTP addresses for SIUE Webmail?        

I really shouldn't be telling you this, since I strongly discourage the propogation of Outlook, but oh well.  (Give Thunderbird (http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/) a whirl.)

There is no IMAP server, afaik, but both POP3 and SMTP are at mail.siue.edu.

Have fun!

Thanks Beanie, but while I can receive messages, I'm unable to send outgoing messages.  I'm confused.

Pretty sure SIUE disables outgoing SMTP unless through webmail, or maybe you just need to setup SMTP authentication (I never tried, I use another server to send my outgoing mail).

actually, you should use the following addresses:

IMAP:  imap.siue.edu
POP:   pop.siue.edu
SMTP:  smtp.siue.edu

you can only send mail using SIUE's SMTP server to a non-SIUE e-mail address if you have an SIUE IP address.  disabling this service in mail servers prevents them being used to relay spam messages.  in other words, it's generally advisable to use your ISP's SMTP server.  (if SIUE is your ISP, use smtp.siue.edu, otherwise use the one provided by your ISP).

thanks bill

QuoteIMAP: imap.siue.edu
POP: pop.siue.edu
SMTP: smtp.siue.edu

FYI- all of those addresses resolve out to 146.163.5.4 as dones 'mail.siue.edu', so you can use any of those addresses for any service.  So, for the same of simplicity, I use 'mail.siue.edu' for SMTP and IMAP on my system.

Also, Beanie- have you tried Outlook 2003?  It's a lot nicer and has some enhancements that I think can help trim down SPAM, etc.  Only time will tell if it's better on the virus front, though.

(Once again) Damn ZOOPS.  :)

This is the case right now. It is quite possible that the resolution addresses will change in the future. It is recommended that you use the appropriate addresses as quoted above for IMAP, POP, and SMTP. mail.siue.edu is depreciated and should NOT be used.

OK, cool.  Thanks for the info.  I'll keep that in mind if the mail server is unreachable.  I'll change it then.  :)
