<p>hey everyone. </p>
<p>i was wondering if anyone knows how to set up outlook express with a UCLA email address. when i tried setting everything up, the program asked me to enter an "incoming mail server" and an "outgoing mail server." how do i go about finding all this info about my account on UCLA?</p>
<p>i found this site to be particularly helpful: <a href="http://www.easytechinc.com/outlooksetup/%5B/url%5D">http://www.easytechinc.com/outlooksetup/</a> but i still don't know how i'd go about finding the info for setting up the account.</p>
<p>so any info will do. i just get tired when i log into my.ucla.edu all the time just so i could check my email.</p>
<p>Bruin OnLine Email Servers</p>
<p>In order to send email, Bruin Online uses the SMTP or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol using port 25. The SMTP protocol sends your email and any attachments to the the email address specified in the message. If you send a message to an invalid email address, then it will be sent back to you with an error message in the body of the text.</p>
<p>Here are the specifications for BOL's mail server:</p>
<pre><code>* Incoming Mail Server: (POP) mail.ucla.edu port:110
* Incoming Mail Server: (IMAP) mail.ucla.edu
* Outgoing Mail Server: (SMTP) mail.ucla.edu port:25
</code></pre>

<p>Hope that helps.</p>
<p>i was able to set up the microsoft outlook express properly. but now i have another problem. i noticed when i logged into my.ucla.edu to check my email, nothing was there. all the emails go directly into the microsoft program which means i could only access emails from my ucla email address on my laptop. </p>
<p>right now it's no big deal, but in the future when i need to read my email elsewhere, say at powell library, or anywhere for that matter, i won't be able to access it.</p>
<p>does anyone know how i can access my email through both outlook express and the old-fashioned my.ucla.edu log-in?</p>
<p>Yes there is a way. You go to your ucla email account typically through that link in myUCLA. Then click options in the left side. Then click Account Info. Then check the box that says "Don't synchronize with POP server"</p>
<p>I believe that should do the trick for you.</p>
<p>Your emails probably disappear because you delete them in Outlook so your UCLA email account deletes them too so that they can remain synchronized.</p>
<p>Did you set it as an IMAP server in Outlook Express (OE)? That's what you need to do. POP3 = bad. It downloads them to the client and then deletes them from the server.</p>
