Using GroupWise to access your POP email accounts
January 4, 2007 2:41 pm | Author: Stephen McMillin | Filed Under Email-Faculty and Staff |GroupWise has built-in support for POP email accounts. POP accounts are the type typically provided for you by your Internet Service Provider (ISP.) Using these instructions, you will be able to receive both your MSSU email and your ISP email accounts using GroupWise.
- Open GroupWise. From the Accounts menu choose “Account Options”.
- Under the Mail tab, click the Add button to setup a new account.
- Type a name for the new account (e.g. Internet Mail, AOL Mail, etc.) Select the account type if necessary. POP3 is the default and that is what ISPs usually provide for you. Click the Next button to continue.
- For the following form, you will use the information provided to you by your ISP. The information entered in the screenshot below is just an example. Click the Next button once you have entered this information.
- This screen allows you to select the internet connection to use with this email account. You should select the connection provided by your ISP. If you are accessing your POP account from your computer on campus, you should select the LAN connection. Click the Next button to continue.
- It is recommended that you create a new folder to store emails from this account. Otherwise you could select an existing GroupWise folder to store these emails. Click the Next button to name the new folder and set its position in the list.
- Now you can name the new folder. You can also use the directional buttons (Up, Down, Right, & Left) to position the folder into the existing folder list. Click the Finish button, then click the Close button on the Accounts window.
- From the Accounts menu you can now choose the “Send/Retrieve” option to receive mail from your POP account. This option is not for your MSSU GroupWise account. Your MSSU email will be sent and received as long as you are connected to the Internet while GroupWise is running.
- You will need to logon with the user name and password provided by your ISP. You can choose to have GroupWise save the password information. Click OK to continue.
- GroupWise will now check for any new messages in your POP account. It will also send any outgoing messages.
- Click on the folder that you created (or the existing folder that you specified) for this account to see your new POP messages.
