Setting up your computer to use the College of PNHS E-mail

Setting up your computer to use the College of PNHS E-mail will depend on the software you use to read e-mail. We are software-agnostic here at PNHS; we will not force you to use any particular program to read your e-mail. (This also means that we may not be familiar with the program you are trying to use if you pick an obscure one. We do not promise to make every program work, just the 'major' ones that we are familiar with.) We officially support Microsoft Outlook.

You need to tell your e-mail reader of choice to set up a new account, using the following information. Your program may use different words to mean the same thing; not all programs will ask for all of this information:

General

It will also ask for more mundane things, such as your name. We assume you know that.

If you are using Microsoft Outlook, we have a set of step-by-step instructions for setting up e-mail that you can refer to.

Some things you should know:

• You can't send mail through our server without authenticating yourself.
• If you check for e-mail really, really often it loads down the server and makes it slower for everyone. Please don't set your e-mail program to check for new messages every minute. Every 10 minutes will still get you your mail, and make the system run faster for everyone. Thanks!
