Read Allegheny Email from Home Using Entourage for Macantosh

Allegheny Webmail is available off-campus for reading your Allegheny email using a web browser.

Entourage is not supported by the Allegheny Help Desk. we recommend that you download and configure Eudora. Eudora is available in paid, sponsored, and light modes, with the sponsored and light modes being free. You can download it from the Eudora website.

Once you have installed and opened Entourage you will need to open the Edit Account Dialog Box

Open the Tools menu.

Select Accounts

Click on the Mail tab and click on New

If the Setup Assistant appears select Configure Account Manually

Under the Account Type pop-up menu, select POP and then select ok

In the Edit Account dialog box

enter your Account Name as whatever you want this E-mail address to be called, perhaps Allegheny E-Mail

Under Name enter your name as you would like it to appear in ougoing messages.

Under Email Address enter *your_username*@allegheny.edu for instance for John Smith smithj@allegheny.edu

Under Account ID enter your username ex. smithj

Under POP server use this chart to determine what server to use.

  Incoming Server
Students smailin.allegheny.edu
Employees emailin.allegheny.edu

Under Password enter your Allegheny E-Mail Password. Defaultly this will be your initials followed by the # sign and then your student ID number without the leading 0. So if John Smith's ID# was 0123456, his password would be js#123456

Under SMTP server screen enter the Outgoing (SMTP) email server of your Internet Service Provider (for example, mail.alltel.net if you are using the Allegheny/Alltel Internet Service or mail.zbzoom.net if you are using Armstrong Zoom Cable Internet; students on Gatornet should enter smailout.allegheny.edu).

This should successfully get Entourage up and running. For limited help please contact the Allegheny Help Desk at extension 2755, or via E-mail at help@allegheny.edu
