Client Software

You will be able to access the Exchange Email Server in a number of ways:

When on campus or from home, by using the World Wide Web interface. This requires Netscape 3.0 or higher or Internet Explorer 3.0 or higher.
By using your favorite PC based Email software that supports POP mail, including Netscape Mail, Eudora, and Outlook Express. You will be able to leave mail on the server so you can access it from on campus if you desire.
From Windows95, you can set up the In Box icon to access your Email.
With a version of Microsoft Outlook that is shipped with MS Office ‘97 you can access your Email.

Outlook Web Access provides access to e-mail, personal calendar, group scheduling, and collaboration applications. Web access requires a browser that supports frames, Java controls, and JavaScript. Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.03 and Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later will work. Note that for Windows 3.1 dialup users, the Microsoft TCP/IP dialer from Internet Explorer 3.03 or higher must be used. No special installation is needed and dialup use is simplified because an ordinary PPP connection can be used.

See Updating your Web Browser (Windows 95/98/NT) for information on updating your Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator to a version compatible with Outlook Web Access.

Port 110
SMTP Server: smtp.utmb.edu
POP Server: pop1, pop2, pop3, or pop4.utmb.edu, depending on what server the mailbox is on (exchangeX.utmb.edu for faculty/staff).
