Microsoft Entourage

This tutorial is to provide instruction for managing your Carleton email account using Microsoft's MacOS X equivalent to Outlook for Windows, called Entourage. Fortunately, Entourage is a far better application and interacts much friendlier with Carleton's mail servers than does Outlook!

Seting-up Entourage

• Open Entourage and go to Tools>Accounts.
• Click "New" to add the account.
• You will then be asked what kind of account you are setting up. As Carleton uses IMAP, select IMAP from the Account Type list and click OK.
• Name your account. Preferably, name it something like Carleton Email, or Carleton.edu, or Carleton, etc.
• Fill in your name and email address. Remember to put in the full email address, not just your Carleton user name (i.e. user@carleton.edu, as opposed to simply "user").
• If you've ever used Mulberry or any other mail client for managing your Carleton mail, the rest of the form probably looks familiar to you. Here's what you need:

• • Receiving Mail:

• • Account ID: Your Carleton username

• • IMAP Server: imap.carleton.edu

• • Password: Your Carleton password

• • Sending Mail

• • SMTP Server: smtp.carleton.edu

• • Advanced Settings These are crucial

• • Under advanced receiving options, check "This IMAP service requires a secure connection (SSL)."

If for some crazy reason this doesn't work, contact the SCIC for more assistance.
