Outlook for UCLA email?

<p>Does anyone know how to configure Outlook for UCLA email? I followed the directions on the UCLA site, but I always end up with only incoming and outgoing. I can receive mail fine, but I get an error when I try to send mail. Anyone know the problem?</p>

<p>i use thunderbird and it works fine. did you triple check that you have the correct server addresses and settings?</p>

<p>change your port number or use your isp's smtp server. you could also log in to the vpn.</p>

<p>I double checked everything. I receive mail fine. The outgoing port is 25, right?</p>

<p>Hold on, let me try forwarding my ports. Nevermind...that didn't work...=(</p>

<p>i just ended up having it linked up to my gmail account. I think it's better that way</p>

<p>You guys understand that it doesn't matter what SMTP server you send mail from, right? It still shows that it comes from ucla.edu. Just use an alternate SMTP and it should be fine. Like gmail's or yahoo's should work.</p>

<p>Can you do this with Yahoo?</p>

<p>I "think" this is how you do it.</p>

<p>If you're forwarding everything to your Gmail account, make sure you edit the settings about keeping the copies of the original mail in your UCLA account. UCLA account has little storage space. I clogged my UCLA account at one point and couldn't get my UCLA email forwarded to my gmail so I had to tinker with the trash settings etc and that was annoying...</p>

<p>yahoo doesnt allow pop forwarding if you dont have a pro account or whatever.</p>

<p>there are ways around that though...like mozilla thunderbird with webmail extension. :rolleyes:</p>
