Configuring Entourage 10.1.4 or higher and
Outlook Express 5.0.6 for the Mac

Neither Entourage nor Outlook Express are officially supported or recommended, but the following directions should allow you to configure these clients to use SSL to access mail.sas.

  1. Launch Entourage or Outlook Express.
  2. Click on the Tools menu and select Accounts.
  3. If a Setup Assistant window pops up, click Configure Account Manually and click the right arrow.
  4. Choose IMAP or POP.
  5. In the Account name field, enter mail.sas.
  6. In the Name field under Personal Information, enter your full name.
  7. In the Email address field, enter your e-mail address for mail.sas (in the form of username@sas.upenn.edu).
  8. In the Account ID field under Receiving mail enter your mail.sas username.
  9. If you are using IMAP, enter imap.sas.upenn.edu in the IMAP server field.
  10. If you are using POP, enter pop.sas.upenn.edu in the POP server field.
  11. Click on Click here for advanced receiving options and click on Service requires a secure connection (SSL). Note that port number will show 995 if you use POP and 993 if you use IMAP.
  12. In the Sending Mail section, enter your ISP's SMTP server name in the SMTP server field.
  13. If you are using IMAP for the first time, click on the Options tab and enter ~/Mail/ in the Root folder field.
