E-Mail Services
services.cse.ucsc.edu is the SOE mail server. Use it for IMAP connections. See our mail FAQ for further information.
Use of IMAP mail clients is recommended. IMAP has the advantage that mail is stored on the server, so if you read your mail from multiple locations. Configure your IMAP mail client to use the following servers:
- IMAP: services.cse.ucsc.edu
- SMTP: services.cse.ucsc.edu
NOTE, if you are on the new mail server the settings are different
- IMAP: zimbra.soe.ucsc.edu
- SMTP: zimbra.soe.ucsc.edu
SSL or TLS must be used to protect your mail transactions.
Our outgoing mail server will not 'RELAY' your mail (that is, send mail addressed from you to someone outside the School of Engineering) unless your mail client supports "SMTP AUTH" and TLS. Our IMAP server is compatible with both the IMAPS protocol (port 993) and the STARTTLS command (port 143).
You can also check your email via our web-based IMAP client:
