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.

Your data is not secure if it only exists in one place. Hard drives, CDs, DVDs, flash drives, etc., will all fail eventually. To ensure the safety of your data, you must back up.
Backing up is simple: make a copy of the file(s) on another medium. If you store documents on your computer hard drive, copy them to a USB flash drive or burn a CD or DVD on a regular basis. Important school documents should be copied to your network drive.
If you back up monthly, you will never lose more than one month’s work. Critical work should be backed up at least daily!

Malware is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system, without the owner’s consent. This includes viruses, worms, scripts, and other “infections” your computer might be suffering from.
First, make sure you have installed antivirus software. SLC provides Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows and for OS X free to install and update for all current SLC students, faculty, and staff. Learn more about viruses.
Stay up to date automatically by enabling automatic updates for XP and OS X (Software Update). This will help keep your machine free of viruses and malware.
Windows XP users make sure your firewall is enabled.
Protect yourself against other forms of malware. We recommend Spybot and Ad-Aware for all Windows operating systems.

Suggested Minimum Specifications for New Computers
Buying a computer with the following specifications will protect you from obsolescence for three to five years. If your needs do not dramatically increase, you may be able to keep using your computer for even longer.
The most common question we are asked is: “Should I buy a Mac or a PC?” There is no clear-cut answer. The choice of PC vs. Mac is mostly a personal one; Windows XP and Mac OS X are both stable, mature, and full-featured. Besides personal preference, however, there are a number of other factors to consider in your choice of computer. Read more about Macs vs. PCs.

This notice serves as a reminder of the discontinuation of the WebBoard system. Be advised that no new WebBoards will be created for Fall 2008, nor will new members be added to existing boards.
Also, WebBoard will no longer be available after December 19, 2008. This means that before that date all messages and files that you wish to preserve from WebBoard must be saved on your computer. Summer provides a good opportunity to take a look through your past WebBoards and begin saving any materials you need, if you have not already.
Remember that Academic Computing and the Help Desk are available all summer to assist with this transition process. If you would like instructions for backing up your files from WebBoard, please contact the Help Desk online or x2460. If you are still currently using WebBoard and would like to be introduced to the features within MySLC, please contact Emily Sharp at esharp@slc.edu or x2464 to set up an appointment.
