Changing Your Password

You should change your password occasionally. See this tutorial on changing your SLIS e-mail password.

SPAM Filter

NOTE: Due to the proliferation of email virus and worms, the SLIS email server has been set up to reject incoming attachments that contain any of the following file extensions in the filename:

vbs wsf vbe wsh hta scr pif com exe shs bat bas mp3 mp2 wav mpg avi eml dll zip

Only inbound attachments are subject to these restrictions. There are no restrictions on outbound file attachments.

If you have any questions regarding this limitation, please contact Stanley Laufer.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) POP or IMAP Information

You may also access your SLIS e-mail account via POP or IMAP.

Popular e-mail clients, such as Eudora and Microsoft Outlook, support both POP and IMAP.

Depending on which protocol (POP or IMAP) you choose, you would use the following settings:

POP Server: slis.sjsu.edu
IMAP Server: slis.sjsu.edu

SLIS support is only offered for secure, encrypted versions of POP and IMAP via SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)

Please read important information regarding configuring SSL settings for POP and IMAP access.

Outgoing Mail for POP or IMAP Users

All POP and IMAP users will need to use the SMTP services provided through their ISP for outgoing mail.

Please check your ISP's support website in order to obtain more information on the SMTP servers your ISP has made available to you.

Then, in your email client, locate the setting or preference labeled "SMTP Server" or "Outgoing Mail", and enter the fully-qualified domain name (such as: smtp.earthlink.net) for your ISP's SMTP server.
