Overview

You can access your Notes Mail through such popular POP3 mail clients MS Outlook Express or Outlook. POP3 is a standard mail protocol, a set of formal rules that work behind the scene to determine how message data gets transmitted across a computer network. "POP" stands for Post Office Protocol. To set up your CCMAIL account on Outlook or Outlook Express, you will need to specify your server and identity settings. Your inbound POP3 server, or incoming mail server, is the same as your Notes Mail server: domino1.nevada.edu, domino2.nevada.edu, or domino4.nevada.edu. Your outbound SMTP mail relay is mail.nevada.edu. Your POP3 username is your name and organization identifier, e.g., John Doe/UNLV. Your password is the same password you use to authenticate over the Web.

Outlook

What Is Microsoft Outlook?

Microsoft Outlook is a messaging and personal information management program, which is typically installed with Microsoft Office. Outlook centralizes many of the everyday tools you use and activities you perform to keep your business and personal life in order.

You can use Outlook on its own without e-mail capability, or in conjunction with an e-mail server - either UNLV's server, a server at an Internet e-mail service you subscribe to, or both. Many faculty members are using Outlook to receive and send CCMail, Pine and Interact Accounts in one system.

Inside Outlook, you'll find:

E-mail  Correspond with others, send pictures and other file attachments, add security to confidential messages, share electronic business cards, send and respond to meeting and task requests, and filter out junk e-mail and messages with adult content.
