Important notes:

• Purdue recommends using IMAP instead of POP3 for email clients. IMAP allows for two-way synchronization, which means that changes made to your email account on one device will be reflected on all devices.
• If you're using a mobile device, you may need to configure your email client separately for each device.
• Purdue's email system has specific requirements for email clients, so if you're experiencing issues, you may need to contact the Purdue IT Help Desk for assistance.
