Off-Campus LU E-mail Access

There are currently a few options for accessing your Lawrence e-mail account from off-campus. Technology Services strongly recommends Option 1 -- the use of Webmail.

Option 1: Outlook Web Access (Webmail)

Webmail is Lawrence University's web-based e-mail client. Webmail allows users to access their Lawrence e-mail from any computer (on or off-campus) with an active Internet connection and a functioning web browser. Webmail is convenient because it does not require you to reconfigure your personal e-mail client. To access Webmail:

    1. Open a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari, and go to: http://webmail.lawrence.edu
    2. Enter your username and network password.

Option 2: Mobile Client

Each mobile device is a bit different in it's setup of e-mail accounts thus below are the server setting you will need to setup your Lawrence e-mail on your device.

(Note, depending on your device it may be necessary to enter the full path of the server and not just the server name. The full path is: https://lumail.lawrence.edu

Option 3: Personal Computer E-Mail Client

*Technology Services strongly recommends the use of webmail.*
Before you can configure an e-mail client on your personal computer, you will need an active Internet connection. You will then need to configure the outgoing mail (SMTP) server and the incoming mail server in your e-mail client, as detailed below, in order to receive Lawrence e-mail. (These settings are the same for any IMAP e-mail client.)

Mail Server Username: enter the user name for your LU accounts
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: lumail.lawrence.edu
Outgoing Server Port: 587
Outgoing Username: enter the user name for your LU accounts
Incoming Mail Server: lumail.lawrence.edu
Incoming Mail Server: 993

Important: You must configure your e-mail client to authenticate with your Lawrence username and password for both incoming and outgoing messages. In addition, you must enable TLS mode for both incoming and outgoing connections.

Option 4: E-mail Redirection

If you would prefer to redirect your Lawrence e-mail to another e-mail account (such as G-Mail), you can do so with these instructions.
