Overview
You can retrieve your Mail messages with a client that supports IMAP or POP, like Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird. You can also sync your calendar with Microsoft Outlook, iCal, or Mozilla Sunbird.
To receive your email on a desktop client, you'll need to:
- Create a Google Apps @stanford password.
- Enable IMAP or POP access to your Google Apps @ stanford email account.
- Set up your client.
If you want to access your calender using a desktop client, you'll need to sync your calendar with that program.
When using a desktop client, use your sunet_id@stanford.edu with your Stanford Google Apps password to login.
Creating a Google Apps password
When configuring a mobile device or IMAP/email software you will need to first create a Google Apps password to use with it. You will not be able to use the same password as your SUNet ID password.
If you have not yet created a Google Apps password, do so by going to tools.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/google-pass. You can use the same password for this connection and for your mobile device.
