Emory & Henry College issues each student, faculty, and staff member an email account. This account is maintained on a Microsoft Exchange mail server. Each student is allowed up to 50MB of space in the email inbox. Email can be checked in several ways, through the Internet, with an Outlook Exchange Client, using a POP3 mail client, or an IMAP4 mail client. The IT Department highly recommends checking your mail through the Outlook Exchange client or through the Internet. The POP3 and IMAP4 clients are for more advanced users and if not properly configured can cause you email to be downloaded to one computer and make it unavailable from other locations.

Checking Email Through the Internet

The College uses a program called Outlook Web Access to check email through the Internet.

7. Enter username, password, and ehc as the domain and click OK.
