| Note: Advanced functions such as calendaring and scheduling will not be available if you use a POP/IMAP client rather than using Outlook on campus. If you wish to use a full function client with calendaring and scheduling remotely, you may use Outlook Web Access via the internet, remote desktop connection to connect into your Office PC and run Outlook, or VPN in to campus and run Outlook directly on your own computer.

IMAP Tutorials Windows Mail IMAP Instructions (Comes with Windows Vista) POP (Post Office Protocol) Caution! Default POP settings REMOVE email messages from the Outlook Exchange server once they are downloaded into your POP client so your only copy of the message will be on the computer you "POPed" the message down to. If you wish to leave the messages on the server so that you can also get them when using another method (Outlook on campus, Outlook Web Access, mobile device), you MUST place a check in the box next to "leave a copy of the message on the server" when you set up your POP client. Follow instruction very carefully! POP Tutorials Windows Mail POP Instructions (Comes with Windows Vista) Mobile Devices (ActiveSync) Windows Mobile 5 Instructions |
VPN (Virtual Private Network) - This allows users at home that are connected to the Internet with their own Internet Service Provider such as a cable modem or DSL to access University restricted services and applications. This allows a connection from the Internet into a protected zone, to authorize computers before they get access and encrypt the whole traffic flow between their home computer and our network. When you VPN into campus, it is as if your computer is plugged directly into our network on the inside of the campus firewall. |
