POP Client Setup Outlook2007
- In order to set up a POP client, you need to know which POP server you use to read mail. Colorado College’s Incoming POP server is securemail.ColoradoCollege.edu. To send mail, the Outgoing SMTP server is smtp.coloradoCollege.edu. Note that you can only send email from a POP client if you are on-campus or connected to CC via Virtual Private Networking (VPN). If you are off-campus and use another service provider (like Adelphia cable, DSL, AOL, etc.), you will need to use that service provider’s outgoing SMTP server to send email or connect to the webmail client at www.coloradocollege.edu. You can receive POP email no matter how you connect to the Internet, as long as you have your CC username and password.
