UNH E-Mail via SMTP and POP

One of the options of getting your UNH e-mail is using e-mail software that will download your e-mail directly to your computer, for example Eudora or Outlook.

Generally, to configure your e-mail software correctly, you need to specify your SMTP server (for sending e-mail) and your POP server (for receiving e-mail).

SMTP Server - (Sending Mail)

• For on-campus users, we suggest specifying cisunix.unh.edu as your SMTP server.
• Off-campus customers of a commercial Internet service provider will probably want to specify their provider's SMTP server instead. Contact your ISP for more information.

POP Server - (Receiving Mail)
Unlike sending mail, receiving your mail requires a lot more information. To read your mail via POP protocol, you need to supply:

• your UNH e-mail username;
• your UNH e-mail password;
• your POP server name - we suggest specifying cisunix.unh.edu as your POP server.

Not all these options may be configurable in the same place. Specifically, your client software may ask your password only when you command it to retrieve your mail.

You should note that many POP clients give you varying degrees of control about what happens to your mail: whether it gets moved to your PC, or left on the server, or some combination. What you decide depends on your usage patterns, but you should think about it, and make sure your client software isn't doing something you don't expect (or even understand).
