You can access CatMail using an e-mail client such as
Microsoft Outlook
Mozilla Thunderbird
Mac Mail
Microsoft Entourage
as well as a mobile device, such as an iPhone
You can setup your email account using either a POP or IMAP protocol.
The settings you will need in order to configure your email program to check CatMail are as follows:
Username/Login Name: OHIOID@ohio.edu (all lowercase)
Return Address: OHIOID@ohio.edu
For the incoming and outgoing mail server settings, additional security measures are required, noted in the field below. Most e-mail programs take care of setting the ports for you if you select the right security option in the account setup, though some programs require you to use the "Advanced" account setup to view the security options.
