LIU Email POP Settings

Post Office Protocol or POP is the way email software programs like Netscape, Outlook and Eudora mail send email messages to and receive email messages from LIU's email servers. 

On Campus

Students in their dorm rooms and faculty and staff in their offices, who have Ethernet adapters in their computers and network ports in their rooms/offices, can connect directly to the campus network, the Internet and the University's email servers.  Please contact your local campus Information Technology office if you need information about connecting to the campus network.

You can also use POP to access your LIU email off campus. First, you use your computer's modem to dial into your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Then you can use your favorite email software like Eudora Light or Netscape mail. More Information

There are settings which must be specified in your email program regardless of which email program you use. You may wish to fill in more information, like your full name or reply email address in the setup windows.  The instructions below only cover the necessary settings.

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) gives you a PPP connection so that your email program (e.g. Netscape mail or Eudora Light) can access the LIU email servers from off campus. There are thousands of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) available. A short list includes AOL, IBM.Net and AT&T WorldNet. A longer list of ISPs is available at http://thelist.internet.com.
