Configurations:

Note: We are ensuring that our email is even more secure by supporting "Secure Socket Layer" (SSL) for our Webmail, POP, IMAP and SMTP servers.

If you need to send or receive email before completing configuration of your local email client, you can still access email through your web browser interface at:

https://exchange.csupomona.edu.

Incoming Server: exchange.csupomona.edu
Outgoing Server: smtp.csupomona.edu
Login User Name: win\bronconame\groupname
Login Password: BroncoPassword

Example: The user Billy Bronco with a BroncoName of “bbronco” would log in into the group mailbox “helpdesk” with a login of “win\bbronco\helpdesk. Billy Bronco would use his own BroncoPassword for the password login.
