  Email Client Settings

 

Email client settings for the ESF Campus and home.

Many users on the ESF Campus Network use Microsoft Outlook (the official ESF email client) to connect to the ESF Mail Server. Outlook is referred to as an 'Exchange client' and maintains a connection to the ESF Mail Server allowing for immediate email delivery to the user's desktop when used on Campus. The full version of Microsoft Outlook is available free of charge to all users of ESF email accounts.

 

For non-Exchange clients, referred to as 'POP clients,' such as Eudora, Pegasus Mail, Netscape Mail, and Outlook Express (or the full version of Outlook specifically configured to be a POP client) the following settings must be used:

For ESF Mail:


On Campus:

 

bulletOutgoing SMTP server: mail.esf.edu (must check setting for 'Server requires authentication' after February 1, 2004)

 

bulletIncoming POP3 server: mail.esf.edu

 

Home:

 

bulletOutgoing SMTP server: The mail server provided by your ISP should be used for this purpose. Email sent in this manner still appears to be coming from your ESF email account, but is 'relayed' through your ISP's mail server. If you have questions regarding what mail server to use here, please contact you ISP.

The local Road Runner SMTP server is as follows: smtp-server.twcny.rr.com.

 

bulletIncoming POP3 server: mail.esf.edu

 

For SU Mail:

 

bulletPlease see SU's information site for users of MyMail for further details.

You can avoid all of these settings and use the MyMail Web-based email system or the ESF email Web Access system.

 

  Switch to ESF mail:

If you are currently using SU email and would like to have an ESF email address, we can assist in the process and help assure that none of your SU email is lost. Please contact us for further information.

 

 

  Backup your email today:

You should backup your local email storage files/folders on a regular basis. The location of these email storage files depends on what email client you are using. If you can not locate the files/folders specific to your email client, Please contact us and we will assist you.
