    Email: Configure Email Client

    Security Enhancements

    Special Instructions re December 2005 changes

    Secure and reliable email, anti-spam filtering, virus scanning and detection, are motivations for configuring email clients to use Drexel email in the manner described below. These settings are required for all Drexel email users when identifying your mail and your sender address as someone@drexel.edu.

    Server information for Drexel's central Incoming and Outgoing mail servers are below. Email client specific instructions are below that.

    Mail Server Type

    Server Name:

    Requires SSL?

    Port Number

    POP pop.mail.drexel.edu Yes 995

    IMAP

    imap.mail.drexel.edu

    Yes

    993

    SMTP

    smtp.mail.drexel.edu

    Yes

    465

    If you have an account on one of the departmental mail servers (coe.drexel.edu, newton.physics.drexel.edu, cis.drexel.edu, mcs.drexel.edu, etc.), please contact your department's system administrator for the appropriate server information. For coe.drexel.edu, contact help@coe.drexel.edu.

    Click here for revisions you need to make to your existing email client for SSL compliance; or

    Choose your email client from this list for step-by-step new setup instructions.

    Client Version
    Outlook Express 6 |
    Outlook 2002 | 2003
    Apple Mail Mac
    Microsoft Entourage Mac
    DrexelOne one.drexel.edu no configuration necessary
    Exchange 2002 and 2003

    Note to those with multiple Drexel email profiles or settings for multiple email accounts: All mailboxes/profiles you access must be configured in the same way; that is, with SMTP Auth, SSL encryption, and as a bona fide @drexel.edu account user. Choose your email client from the list for specific setup instructions.
