A POP mail client downloads copies of your mail messages -- but not folders -- from the mail
server to your computer. Messages deleted with the POP client are not deleted from the server.
Therefore, you must use Groupwise or Webmail to manage your server mailbox quota. If you exceed your quota, the
POP client will still download messages, but you will not be able to send.
With an IMAP client, you connect to the server to read your mail. Messages are not downloaded.
When you delete messages using IMAP, they are deleted from the server.
You must use a POP/IMAP client that has an outgoing server setting for "Server Authentication".
Some common clients for the PC are Eudora, Outlook and Thunderbird. Common clients for the Mac
are Mac Mail and Entourage.
GENERAL SETUP
INSTRUCTIONS
Mail client settings vary, but you must always supply the following:
- Your name:
Enter your first and last name
(Example: Grace Andersen)
- Your email address:
Enter your New School email address
(Example: anderg03@newschool.edu)
- Your email ID:
Enter the part of your New School email address that is
before the @
(Example: anderg03)
- The name of the incoming
mail server:
Enter pop.newschool.edu and
select IMAP or POP. The server will do either.
Important:
If
there is an option for "secure password authentication", leave this
option unselected.
- The name of the
outgoing or SMTP server:
Enter smtp.newschool.edu
Important:
you must select the option for "server authentication".
NOTE: Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) require the use of their mail
server. Contact your Service Provider to get the setup information
specific to your service.
- Your password:
Enter your GroupWise/Webmail password. You must change this password whenever you change
your Groupwise/Webmail password.
For best results, do not set your client to check for mail more than once every five minutes.

by someone with a program known as a "sniffer". Following are instructions for the most common mail clients:
