Can I access my UW-Platteville e-mail account on the wireless network?

Yes, the easiest way is to use the UWP NetMail web client.

If you wish to use a desktop e-mail client such as Thunderbird, you will need to configure the client to use a secure connection for both sending (SMTP) and receiving (IMAP) e-mail. This is configured within the e-mail client under the server settings. Use the UW-Platteville e-mail server addresses and select SSL for a secure connection. Please also verify the port for SMTP is set to 465, and the port for IMAP is set to 993.
