I am wondering how to use the E-mail accounts option

I want to add my university Email adress so it informs me when i recieve an email to that account.   

How would i go about finding the
POP server,
Port
and if i know if the server requires an encrypted connnect (SSL)


Thanks Alot! 

Your University's computer services department should have that information on their website, as it is used to set up mail via outlook, etc.

If the information is not available online, send an e-mail to the helpdesk of your univeristy's computer services explaining your problem and they should be able to provide you with that information

This was the info the guy sent me  Im really a noob at this stuff  what do i do with it lol


Yes, UTORmail uses SSL.  You will need the following values when configuring your email
software with UTORmail

*** NOTE :  Please use IMAP and not POP.  The help desk does not support or recommend POP.

UTORmail information to configure e-mail software
configuration number         ***
SMTP (Outgoing Mail) Server         smtp.utoronto.ca
IMAP (Incoming Mail) Server         mailbox274.utcc.utoronto.ca
Mail Server User Name         ********

If the helpdesk doesn't support POP3 then you cannot use Plus's e-mail accounts option.

You could add this account to outlook though so that you still get e-mail notifications and don't have to keep checking a webmail site (this is what i did with my university e-mail)

Thanks alot for your Help
it sucks that the #1 reason i got Plus! doesnt work lol
If i have any more questions about MSG PLUS! i will msg you  thanks again
