Purpose

A simple tutorial to show how to use [email protected] to send and receive email.

New students of UMD are initialized with a  [email protected] email, which looks long and un-professional. However, you CAN actually using [email protected] to send and receive email. The steps I provide below works for me, if you are stuck at certain step, please feel free to tell me at [email protected].

You will need to be able to access your [email protected] before performing any of following steps. See terpmail for guidance.

Receive email using [email protected]

• Make sure you have access to [email protected] before proceeding.

• Here is already a nice tutorial at schoool website.

• All you need to do is to log-in testudo.umd.edu --> go to change address/email --> go to contact information --> change your application email into your [email protected].

• You will have to wait for at least 2 hours for it to take effect.

• Please test by sending [email protected] using other emails.

• You might need make sure you can receive from [email protected] before being able to send as [email protected].

Send email using [email protected]

This is a more exciting feature. The steps was inspired by a related tutorial.

Makre sure you can receive email using [email protected] before proceeding.

1. Log-in the terpmail on website and select Settings on the right.

   

2. Enter Accounts

   

3. Select Add another email address under Send mail as. (Since I alraedy added [email protected] so you can see my [email protected]. However, for first-time user you can only see your [email protected].)

   

4. Enter your name and [email protected]. Unselect treat as an alias. Proceed to next step.

   

5. There are several settings.

   • SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
   • Port: 465
   • Username: [email protected]

   You might see failure saying Authentication failed. Please check your username/password and Less Secure Apps access for [email protected]. If you are absolutely sure you entered the correcet account/password combination, then it might be you have to authorize for less secure apps. So click on the hyperlink and follow the instruction. Proceed.

6. You will receive a confirmation code send by University of Maryland Team. Enter the confirmation code and proceed. Notice, you might need to make sure your [email protected] can receive email so that you can receive the confirmation code.

7. After the success, choose [email protected] as default under Settings -> Accounts -> Send mail as.

   

8. Test successful！(Notice, you might not be able to send to [email protected] from [email protected], so test using other email.)

   

Settings for iOS Mail

In order to receive email using Mail app in iOS, you might need to enter [email protected] when requried, since terpmail.umd.edu is the acutally email provider.
