MyMail uses IMAP technology. That means when you use a third-party e-mail package to read your mail (i.e. Outlook, Eudora, Thunderbird, Apple mail, etc.), the mail and folders that appear in your third-party client are replicas of the mail and folders that are in your MyMail account. Deleting e-mail or folders in either MyMail or in your third-party client will permanently remove the e-mail/folders from both MyMail and your third-party e-mail system. In order to save e-mail indefinitely, you must create personal or local folders in your e-mail client and move the e-mail into those folders.
Regardless of which third-party e-mail package you use, you must use these server settings so that your third-party e-mail package can access the MyMail server:
The outgoing (SMTP) server for MyMail is SMTP-HOST.SYR.EDU
Note: Note: If you are off campus, your internet service provider (ISP) may not
allow outgoing mail to be sent through SMTP-HOST.SYR.EDU. In that case, please consult your ISP for
the proper outgoing mail settings or connect to the Syracuse University VPN before using your e-mail
client.
The incoming (IMAP) server for MyMail is IMAP-SERVER.SYR.EDU
