ESF Email Resources.
Note to all ESF users of SU email:
Migrate your SU email before February 15, 2008:
Syracuse University has announced that they will be eliminating their
mailbox.syr.edu services (POP3, IMAP, Orangemail, PINE) and migrating
all users to Microsoft Exchange (the same email system used at ESF).
These services will be eliminated on February 14, 2008 (end of business). If you use SU
email, it is required that you migrate to the new SU Exchange service by
February 14, 2008.
SU NetID (username & password) issues:
To use SU email, you need a valid SU NetID. If you are not certain
what your SU NetID is, for whatever reason, or have never confirmed it,
please use the SU NetID services Web
page to:
 | Activate your NetID (Requires a valid ESF/SU ID card) if needed |
| Change your password if you have forgotten it |
| Look up your NetID if you have forgotten it |
| Confirm your password |
| Manage NetID-related functions such as Email forwarding
(Important in the SU email migration process) |
If you have issues with your SU NetID, please call 443-2677
and SU will help you with your problem.
Make the migration process a smooth one and confirm your NetID
as soon as possible!
General ESF email information:
| ESF uses Microsoft Exchange as the Campus email management
system. Users receive their email through a client program such as
Microsoft Outlook (the official ESF email client), or optionally,
Thunderbird, Outlook Express, or other email client. |
| Mailboxes on the ESF email management system are automatically
protected from viruses and Spam using Symantec Mail Security for Exchange. Messages
passing through the ESF email system are guaranteed to be free of
known virus threats. |
| ESF email addresses are derived from information in an
individual user's NetID. Please click
here for further information about ESF NetIDs for Faculty and
Staff. In an attempt to keep mailbox and NetID information
consistent and lower the resulting administrative overhead, ESF does
not support email aliases. |
| ESF does not support esf.edu email for students. |
| Email Client Settings:
See the link to the left for ESF
and SU specific information regarding
what settings you should use on campus, and at home, to assure that you
can always receive your email. |
| SU email accounts:
For problems with Faculty, Staff or Student Syracuse University (SU) email accounts that can not be solved by
using the information available here, please
contact SU ITS at 443-2677. |
Email security setting for users of POP mail:
ESF email Accounts: ESF employees who access ESF email through a
POP3 client (i.e., programs such as Eudora, Pegasus Mail, Netscape
mail, Outlook Express, or Thunderbird and all Macintosh email programs)
currently have to provide a user name and password to both send and receive their
email. Users need to
specifically enable the setting in their email programs to require them to
authenticate (i.e., provide a user name and password) to send email.
The normal email client program setup handles settings for receiving
messages, but settings for outbound email are usually optional.
Please click here
for
more detailed instructions on how to configure the various email
programs in use on Campus.
Those who access ESF email via Outlook 2000, XP, or 2003 (Full
versions):
ESF employees who use Outlook versions 2000, XP, or 2003 for
on-campus email management, and do not have Outlook set up to act as
a POP3 client, will not need to specially configure any settings to
be able to send email while on the ESF Campus.
