**If you are trying to access your mail from off campus, you will have a different outgoing SMTP server setting depending on your internet service provider. Consult with your ISP to get your SMTP settings.

In Microsoft Outlook, in order to reconfigure it to use POP3S(Pop3 over SSL), you will have to follow the steps listed here. First, click on Tools -> E-Mail Accounts as shown above.

Select View or Change Existing E-Mail Accounts and click Next

Highlight the USM account, and click Change

The info should be filled as shown above, with your own e-mail address and username of course. The Incoming should be mail.usm.edu and the Outgoing should be smtp.usm.edu. Once those values are verified, click the More Settings button.

In the Settings menu, click the Advanced tab. On the Advanced tab, check the box under Incoming server that reads This server requires a secure connection(SSL). When this box is checked, the port number should change to 995 automatically.

That should be all that is needed. Click OK and close out of the menus, and Outlook should be configured to use POP3S on the new mail server.
