Email clients

Connecting from a desktop email client, like Outlook (PC) or Entourage (Mac) is a good idea if you consistently work from the same computer. In addition to connections with Outlook, OU IT is enabling both POP and IMAP connections for those wishing to connect using non-Microsoft clients.

OU IT has provided step by step instructions below for most major email clients (both PC and Mac). If you have trouble re-configuring your client, please contact our Service Desk at (405) 325-HELP or support.ou.edu.
