U-M Internet Configuration Fact Sheet

This document lists configuration information, such as server addresses, for those who want to configure their own Internet software to connect to ITS services. It does not explain how to configure your software, but simply lists the configuration information you will need to enter. See Additional Resources at the end of this document for other configuration information resources.

If your school, college, or unit provides computing services, check with your computer support person for the appropriate configuration information for those services.

E-Mail

The configuration information here is for use of the ITS IMAP e-mail service.

U-M is going Google! If you use the ITS IMAP email service, you will switch to a U-M Google account sometime during 2012. See the google.umich.edu website for details, including go-live dates. The ITS IMAP e-mail configuration information below will remain available until all IMAP email users have moved to Google Mail.

For detailed e-mail configuration information for many different e-mail clients, see Configuring Your E-Mail Program to Connect to the ITS E-Mail Service (S4321).
