Can I configure my e-mail program or phone to download my alumni e-mail? (POP or IMAP access)
STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION
Follow these steps to set up your smartphone or desktop email program to receive Stanford Alumni Email:1) Go to the Stanford Alumni Association website and Create a POP/IMAP password in your profile. If you do not set up a POP/IMAP password in your profile, you will receive an error when you set up in the device or program.
2) Log in to Alumni Email
3) Enable POP/IMAP in your Google settings
4) Configure your mobile or desktop email program.
To complete the configuration, you will need:
- Email address: You must use username@alumni.stanford.edu for your email address. Your username@stanfordalaumni.org email address will not work.
- Password: You must use the POP/IMAP password you set up in your profile on step 1 or you will receive an error during your set up.
- Incoming server: imap.gmail.com
- Outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com
- Your email address: you must enter username@alumni.stanford.edu. username@stanfordalumni.org and username@gmail.com will not work
- Password: you must have created a POP/IMAP password (see step #1 above). Your Stanford Alumni site password will not work.
- If you want to use IMAP, make sure to enable it in your Google settings (step #3 above)
