E-mail Configuration Guides (POP)

These guides will help you configure an e-mail program (application) on your computer for use with your UMN e-mail account. These guides were designed for POP configurations with SSL enabled; however, IMAP is preferred over POP, especially when you may be checking your e-mail from different computers.

We do not provide a POP e-mail guide in parallel with each of our IMAP guides. Please see our main E-mail Configuration Guides page for a full list of our e-mail guides based on IMAP.
