In order to set up and read your e-mail on ResNet, you will need a mail client (Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora Pro, etc.) and a POP account. Most students should already have an account from the Office of Information Technology (OIT).  The account consists of a username (your name.# such as smith.3456) and a password.

You need the following to set up your e-mail client:

• Outgoing mail (SMTP): smtp.service.ohio-state.edu
• Incoming mail (POP): pop.service.ohio-state.edu
• Account name: (your name.#)
• Password: your password
• You are connecting via a local area network (LAN)
• You are using a POP3 e-mail server

If you do not have an account with OIT or need to change your password go to  http://oit.osu.edu/userpass.html.

If you do not have an e-mail client, OIT has a site license for Eudora Pro.  This software is free to any OSU student, faculty, or staff.
