Email Client Configuration

The Help Desk assists faculty and staff with the configuration of the email clients Microsoft Outlook 2003 and Apple Mail to send and receive SLC email only.

The Help Desk does not support the configuration of personal email clients such as Outlook Express, Thunderbird, or Entourage, and does not support any mail applications for students.

Use the following information to configure your email client:

  • POP Server/Incoming Mail Server: mail.slc.edu
  • SMTP Server/Outgoing Mail Server: mail.slc.edu *

*The SMTP server (mail.slc.edu) will only work on the SLC network. Contact your ISP to obtain their SMTP server to send mail when off campus.

Under “Advanced Settings,” please make sure the option to Leave a Copy of Message on Server is checked to ensure that a backup of your emails still exist. This setting will be located in different places depending on the E-Mail client you wish to use.
