Install and Configure Email Clients -- General Instructions for POP

These instructions are for those configuring email clients with the POP protocol. However, most users will prefer the IMAP protocol, which provides better support for accessing email from multiple locations.

We suspect that many POP users are also Eudora users. We are now phasing out support for Eudora. However, we continue to provide these instructions for those who need them.

• Install Eudora for the Macintosh
• Install Eudora for Windows

If you are familiar with mail clients, or you are using another mail client, general instructions are as follows:

1. Download and install your mail program. Thunderbird is available at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/
   
   
2. Use the following user name and server configuration settings:
   

   Your name: Enter your full name. (e.g. Jane User) Email Address: username@haverford.edu (e.g. juser@haverford.edu) Login name: username (e.g. juser) Incoming Mail Server (a.k.a. Mail server): pop.haverford.edu Outgoing Mail Server (a.k.a. SMTP server): smtp.haverford.edu

   
   
3. Configure your mail program for Post Office Protocol (POP) with Secure Socket Layer (SSL). Configure Email for New Security Measure (POP with SSL) has configuration instructions for many popular mail clients.
   
   
4. Configure your program to leave mail on server for five days. This is especially important if you read email on several computers or on other devices (such as a handheld organizer, or a cell phone). Manage Email on Multiple Computers details how to configure to download enough, but not too much, email.
