College Email

Eogclouder

The college recently switched everything over to the new office365.

Previously you used to be able to use 3rd party local email clients with details from NUIG's exchange server (pod51002 or something) along with prot numbers.

Have these changed with the upgrade? Anyone have new details or gotten it working?

Try:
Log in to office 365. Click Help (blue bubble with ! in it)
click about.
you should get a popup with the SMTP/POP3/IMAP details.

Right, for anyone that needs to link their gmail to nuig email, here's a guide.

Right, so you have to break this up into a few parts.


1. You need to set up your college email to forward new messages to your gmail.

* Go to mail.orffice365.com and login.
* On the top right, click "options", then "see all options"
* Click "my account" on the top
* On the right, click "forward your e-mail"
* On the bottom, there's a section called forwarding. enter your gmail into this box and tick the box, press save to the bottom right of that.


2. You need to get gmail to import all your old mails from your college email.

* Log in to gmail
* Click the setting button, top right (looks like a cog-wheel)
* Click settings on the menu that appears
* On the tabs on the top go to accounts
* On the section "check email from other accounts", click "add a pop3 mail account you own"
* Enter you college email into the box that appears and click next.
* In the uwername field put your full college email in
* Enter your colelge email password
* For "pop server" type in : pod51002.outlook.com.
* Select port 995
* Click the first two check boxes and click add account


3. You need to setup you gmail to be able to send messages through you college email (this is so when someone in college emails you, you can reply with you college address, isntead of your gmail While using gmail.)

* Log in to gmail
* Click the setting button, top right (looks like a cog-wheel)
* Click settings on the menu that appears
* On the tabs on the top go to accounts
* On the "send mail as" section, click "add another email address you own"
* Enter the name, and your college email
* Choose "send through @nuigalway.ie SMTP servers"
* In stmp server, enter pod51002.outlook.com
* In username, enter your full nuig email
* Enter your nuig email password
* Choose secure connection with TLS
* Pick port 587
* Click add account

The first step is unnecessary. You don't want your emails being forwarded, because gmail will pull them via POP3 (including new messages). If you do both you're going to end up with two of every new email in your gmail account.

Yeah, noticed that after! Good spot.

I haven't had that problem though, I assume Gmail has some functionality where it's not allowing one over the other.
