Web Mail

If you are using Web Mail, you need to start the web browser first. After it is finished loading onto the computer, you need to click in the address box and type in mail.hawaii.edu. If you are able to reach the UH mail server, you should see this webpage and you should log in with the UH Username and the password for this account.

Pine on uhunix

If you're an experienced Pine user, you need to start a secure telnet software program first. Each secure telnet program starts up differently. You will need to find the Open connection or Make a connection option. In the host box, you will enter uhunix2.its.hawaii.edu and if the software asks for your UH Username and the password for this account, you should type this information in the appropriate box. If the software does not ask you for the UH Username and password, uhunix will ask you for this information once a successful connection is made.

POP

After you install the software, you will need to answer questions about the location of the UH mail server so that the software can communicate with the correct email server. If you choose to use a POP email client software, you will need to use the following information to complete the set up of the software. Note: Enter only the bolded information.

• POP server or incoming mail server: mail.hawaii.edu
• SMTP server or outgoing mail server: mail.hawaii.edu
• Additional security settings: http://www.hawaii.edu/askus/675
  

IMAP

After you install the software, you will need to answer questions about the location of the UH email server so that the software can communicate with the correct email server. If you choose to use a IMAP client software, you will need to use the following information to complete the set of the software. Note: Enter only the bolded information.

• IMAP server or incoming mail server: mail.hawaii.edu
• SMTP server or outgoing mail server: mail.hawaii.edu
• Additional security settings: http://www.hawaii.edu/askus/675

Once you have proper information entered into the POP or IMAP client software, you should be prompted for your password. After you type in your password, you should see your email messages displayed in the window.

ITS has written documents that will walk you through the installation and configuration of email client software. You may obtain the documents and the software on either CDROM or by download (PC or Mac ).
