g"day gpurbpur

your out going mail server should be the same as you incoming mail server not your email address

Hi gpurbpur :wave iwunderdownunder is right, you may have a POP3 for incoming, and a SMTP3 for outgoing.... May want to call your provider, for the proper details on your server

Some departments there appear to use IMAP for incoming mail.

* Email client software should be configured to use the IMAP network email protocol. Detailed instructions for some popular clients are included in sections following this one. We strongly discourage the use of the POP3 protocol.
* For Engineering users, the name of the IMAP server is mail.eng.buffalo.edu.
* For Natural Sciences and Mathematics users, the name of the IMAP server is mail.nsm.buffalo.edu.
* The SENS IMAP servers support secure socket connections. If your email client software supports this feature, use port 993 and turn on the encryption option (in Microsoft Outlook, for example, this is in the "Advanced" tab under "Internet email Settings", and there will be a check box under the IMAP port option with the label "This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)." If your email client does not support this feature, use port 143 and don't turn on this option, but be aware that your connection will not be secure.
* Our email servers will only allow outgoing mail to be sent from computers either directly connected to UB's computer network or connected remotely via VPN or the dial-in modem pool. If you are using an ISP, you should use their email system for outgoing mail, and set the "Reply-To:" header in your email software appropriately. Note that we do not allow outgoing mail from OpenPort or ResNet connections.

i don't really understand. What should i put in what box

iwunderdownunder · Sep 4, 2009

from what i can gather if you are using pop3 for your email then your out going mail server should be the same as your incoming mail server [ mail.buffalostate.com ]and you loggin user name should be your full email address.but as teecee and satrow have posted this could be different if it is smpt3 or imap depends on the type of server if my instructions don't work i would contact your server and they will help configure you email client " outlook".
