Before you start, make sure your CFU e-mail password is at least eight characters long. If it is less than eight characters, click here to continue to the screen below. Enter your current CFU e-mail address and password, then the new password of your choice. Enter the scrambled words in the box indicated then click the Change Password button.

STEP 1   In Outlook 2003 select the Tools menu, then select Accounts. You will see the screen below. Select View or change existing e-mail accounts then click Next.

STEP 3    Highlight your CFU account and click Change. If multiple CFU accounts exist, each one will need to be edited individually. Follow these steps for each CFU account.

STEP 4   Change incoming and outgoing servers to pop.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com. Add @cfu.net to the end of the account name, then click the More Settings button to continue to the next step.

STEP 7   Verify that your Incoming server value is set to 995 and Outgoing server value is set to 465. If they are not, change them now. Check both boxes next to "This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)," then click Ok.
