Reconfigure Your Email Settings

For Optimum Network Performance, Reconfigure Your Email Settings

As explained on pages 4-9, we're making progress upgrading Darkwing, and much of the work is already done. As a result of the upgrade, if your email account is on Darkwing and if you use POP ((Post Office Protocol) or IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) email clients such as Outlook, Eudora, Pegasus, or Mac OS X Mail, you'll have to reconfigure your email settings.**

Here are the settings changes:

SERVICE	CURRENT	NEW
POP	darkwing.uoregon.edu	pop.uoregon.edu
IMAP	darkwing.uoregon.edu	imap.uoregon.edu
SMTP	darkwing.uoregon.edu	smtp.uoregon.edu* If you're using an off-campus non-uoregon.edu SMTP server, don't* change your SMTP server setting
ALL	gladstone.uoregon.edu	NO CHANGES

**Specific instructions for making the settings changes for your particular email program are available at http://micro.uoregon.edu/email/upgrade/ If you're unfamiliar with the terms POP and IMAP and are unsure what type of email program you're using, see http://micro.uoregon.edu/email/popvsimap.html

We recommend that you restart your email client software after making these settings changes. In addition, you may be prompted to accept a new SSL key. If this happens, don't be concerned; this prompt is a normal part of the process. (In case you're wondering why we chose a "global" settings name that currently applies only to Darkwing, the answer is that in the long-term the new settings will work for all Computing Center email accounts.)
