Step 5: Adding Settings to Email Account

Fill in the appropriate information.

Your Name: This is the name displayed to people who you send email to.

E-mail Address: This is your email address at UCSD.

Account Type:

Choose POP or IMAP

When you use POP, all of your email messages from the UCSD server are moved to your computer. Once these messages have been moved to your computer, they are no longer accessible through ACS WebMail. It is best to use POP only when you use your mail client to check your email on one computer.

Selecting IMAP has the advantage of keeping all of your emails on the UCSD mail server, while keeping an updated copy on your computer. This means that you can check your email wherever you are, using a mail client or through ACS WebMail, and your all of your messages will be displayed.

Incoming Mail Server: Your mail server may be one, or close to the following: popmail.ucsd.edu, ieng9.ucsd.edu, sdcc17.ucsd.edu, etc. If you do not know your mail server, you can check by using the Account Lookup Tool and look for which email your server is on.

Outgoing Mail Server: Type in smtp.ucsd.edu

User Name: Your user name is your email address without the @ucsd.edu. For example, the username for triton@ucsd.edu is triton.

Password: Your password is the complex password that you created with an uppercase letter, lowercase letter, and a number or symbol. If you forgot your password, use the Global Password Change Tool.

Click on More Settings... button.
