Chemistry Mail Settings
Please be aware that the following setting only apply if you are using a Chemistry Network Account to store your e-mail. If you are using CAC's e-mail (email.psu.edu or mail.psu.edu) then these settings do not apply.

The recommended settings for accessing Chemistry Network Account e-mail are as follows:

- SMTP server (outgoing): mail.chem.psu.edu
- Username and password required (authentication required) to send mail.
- Default Port: 25

The more generalized settings for other mail programs are as follows:
- Return address: userid@chem.psu.edu
- POP/IMAP server: mail.chem.psu.edu
- SMTP server: mail.chem.psu.edu
Note: mail.chem.psu.edu supports POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP access.
USING Eudora: (note there are problems with Eudora and you'll need to make these adjustments to your configuration file in order to send mail.)
