UGAMail Help - Outlook 2000(Windows)

*IMAP* *- Outlook 2000(Windows)*

SSL is a security option for use with the UGAMail system, and we encourage you to use SSL whenever possible. However, problems are being reported with inbound SSL (most notably when automatically copying mail to the Sent Folder). If you experience any problems when sending mail, try disabling the inbound SSL setting.

If you would like to read your mail with Outlook on a Windows system, you will need to follow these instructions to configure it properly. The screen shots are applicable for Outlook version 2000.
