Here is the general information you will need to use along with your email address, login and password. Follow your e-mail account information to know which incoming mail server to use.

1. Incoming mail/POP3:

                             legacy.eou.edu OR students.eou.edu OR facstaff.eou.edu

1. Outgoing mail/SMTP :
