Subject: Reminder to check your settings. Old email configuration options to be disabled on May 31st.

Please remember that we will disable use of unsecure POP as configuration option for Eudora and other mail clients on or shortly after May 31st. By June 1, your POP configuration will require SSL in order to better protect the privacy of your email password. See our community notice from April 10th regarding recommended changes to email applications, like Eudora or Outlook. Users who have not made the recommended configuration changes by May 31st will not be able to collect mail. If you have not enabled POP with SSL on your email client yet, please follow the instructions at:

Please note that community members who read their mail exclusively through Haverford webmail or forward their email to another account like Gmail, are not using POP and are not affected. If you have questions or need help enabling POP with SSL, please contact your computing support liaisons:

Today at 5PM, Networking & Systems will install a digital certificate on the college's email server, which will enable your email client to use a secure connection when you collect your email using applications like Eudora or Outlook. This new service, often referred to as POP using Secure Socket Layers (POP with SSL), Secure POP, or just POPS for short, will better protect the privacy of your email password.

Both POP with SSL and plain POP will be available through the end of the semester while users transition to this new service. However, we encourage that you enable POP with SSL as soon as it becomes available to better protect the privacy of your email password. We plan to disable plain POP after May 31st. Users who have not enabled POP with SSL for their email clients when plain POP is disabled will be unable to collect email.

For instructions on how to enable POP with SSL on your email client, see:

Please note that community members who read their mail exclusively through Haverford webmail or forward their email to another account like Gmail need take no action. If you have questions about this new service or need help enabling POP with SSL, please contact your computing support liaisons:
