E-mail Access PDF Print E-mail

Electronic Mail is the primary mode of Internet communication within the Samford University network.  Samford faculty, staff, and students are provided e-mail accounts to facilitate activity in this communication medium.  Every recipient of a Samford e-mail address agrees to abide by Samford University's Acceptable Use Policy when using their address.


Technology Services provides access to Samford e-mail in four ways.  Click the Type of E-mail Access item that best fits your needs to receive setup instructions (note: the Outlook Web Access link takes you directly to the OWA login page).

 

Web Based Access:
This type of access allows you to view your e-mail messsages from anywhere in the world and requires no special setup. You will need to disable your popup blocker for these sites to be fully functional. Best viewed using Internet Explorer.

 

Outlook Web Access - Web-based e-mail access, available anywhere you have internet access and a web browser.

 

Samford Portal -  Access your email by looging into the portal and clicking the E-Mail link.

 

Client Setup:
Below are instructions for setting up e-mail clients such as Outlook, Entourage, and Mac Mail. Setting up a client for e-mail access gives you added functionality such as the ability to archive your messages to free up space in your e-mail account.

 

Outlook Client Setup - Outlook client on Windows computers, for use on-campus and set up through Samford's Microsoft Exchange Server.

 

Off-Campus Outlook Client Setup - For those Windows users who travel often or want to use Samford's Exchange Server from other locations.

 

Entourage Client Setup - Microsoft client for on-campus Macintosh computers.  Similar to Windows' Outlook.

 

iPhone / iPod Touch - Apple portable device setup.

 

3rd Party IMAP-based Client Setup -  Any 3rd-party e-mail client designed for on- or off-campus use.  Instead of connecting through Samford's Exchange server, it uses an IMAP-based connection.  Use the link to the left to see necessary settings for connecting with a 3rd party client.
