Title:  Can I use a desktop email program to read my UW email?

Question:
Can I use a desktop email program, such as PC-Pine, Outlook Express,
Mozilla Thunderbird and the like, to read my UW email?

Answer:
UW computing systems allow the use of desktop email programs using either
the IMAP or POP mail server protocols to read UW email.  Computing &
Communications supports the PC-Pine, Outlook Express and Mozilla 
Thunderbird programs distributed with the UW Internet Connectivity Kit 
(UWICK).  We do not have resources to support other desktop email 
programs, though you can configure them on your own as long as they 
support standard Internet mail protocols like IMAP, POP, SSL, and SMTP.
