Setting Verizon Wireless Devices Up for ACCC Email

Important: mail.uic.edu is only used as the incoming email server with the ACCC account/personality that you deliver your netid@uic.edu email to.
If you don't have your netid@uic.edu email sent to an ACCC email account (mailserv, tigger, icarus), you cannot use mail.uic.edu.
If you have additional ACCC email accounts, you can read the email that comes to them only with pine or WebMail.
For more information, see POP and IMAP Email Changes Required by May 1.
For information on other email programs or devices, see Using mail.uic.edu for Your Incoming Email Server and Turning SSL On.
