  1. Using Gmail With Selected Process: Mail Fetcher Kevin Mackowick, Tolgahan Kurt, Matthew Wessel, Michael Hincke, and Brian Thackston.

  2. Introduction: Gmail Basics • Gmail is a free webmail service provided by Google • It was the first large webmail provider to provide at least one gigabyte of storage space for emails • It was designed to be a personal archive that contains a wealth of information

  3. Selected Process: Mail Fetcher • Gmail can be used as an email client, similar to Microsoft’s Outlook Express, to regularly check email accounts you may have with other service providers. • As a student at UMBC, important messages are sent to your University-supplied @umbc.edu email address. • Rather than logging in to both your Gmail and UMBC email accounts separately, you can use Gmail’s “Mail Fetcher” to automatically download messages from the UMBC server to your Gmail inbox.

  4. Setting Up Mail Fetcher • In order to set up Mail Fetcher, you must first log into Gmail (fig. 1), and then select the settings tab (fig. 2).

  5. Setting Up Mail Fetcher • Once the settings page has loaded, click on Add POP3 email account under the Check mail using POP3 heading. (See fig. 11).

  6. Setting Up Mail Fetcher • A window will pop up. Next, enter your full UMBC email address in the box and click on Next Step >>. (See fig. 12).

  7. Setting Up Mail Fetcher • In the new window that appears, you will notice that your username has already been filled in. Enter your myUMBC directory password in the Password: box. (See fig. 13).

  8. Setting Up Mail Fetcher • Next, select imap.umbc.edu from the Pop Server: drop down list. (See fig. 14).

  9. Setting Up Mail Fetcher • After making this selection, Port: should automatically change to 995 and the Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail check box will be selected. • Optionally, if you would like a copy of your UMBC email to stay on the myUMBC webmail server, you may also select the Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server check box. (See fig. 15).

  10. Setting Up Mail Fetcher • Select Add Account >> and a new window will appear notifying you that your account has been successfully added. You can now receive messages from the UMBC server. • To send messages from Gmail using your UMBC email address, click Next Step>>. (See fig. 16).

  11. Setting Up Mail Fetcher • In the Name: field, enter your name as you would like it to appear in outgoing emails, then click Next Step>>. (See fig. 17).

  12. Setting Up Mail Fetcher • In the next window, leave the default option selected: Send through Gmail, then click Next Step>>. (See fig. 18).

  13. Setting Up Mail Fetcher • A new window will now appear. Select Send Verification and the window will close. (See fig. 19). You must now check your UMBC email either by logging in to myUMBC or waiting for Gmail to download your UMBC mail. • You will receive a verification email from Gmail that contains a link to activate the sending feature. Clicking on this link completes the setup process.

  14. Questions? • The group will now take any questions you may have.
