There are 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: Open a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari, and go to: http://webmail.lawrence.edu
Enter your LU network 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 basic settings to setup your Lawrence e-mail and calendar.
From the account setup enter the following settings:
-
Select the Corporate/Exchange email account
-
Enter your full LU email address
-
Enter your password.
-
If there is not a separate Domain field, enter your username as Viking\username. If a separate Domain field exists enter just your username and then in the Domain field enter Viking.
-
Enter the Server lumail.lawrence.edu (Note, depending on device it may be necessary to enter the full path of the server as: https://lumail.lawrence.edu
-
Check the Use SSL box.
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. Choose Corporate/Exchange as the type of account.
-
Email Address: Enter your full Lawrence email address
-
Mail Server Username: enter the user name for your LU account
-
Password: Enter your LU password
-
Mail Servicer: lumail.lawrence.edu
-
Domain: Viking
-
SSL field: click this check box if not already checked.
Option 4: E-mail Redirection
The following instructions will assist you in redirecting ALL your Lawrence e-mail messages to another personal e-mail account (such as G-Mail or Yahoo mail). Redirecting your mail is preferable over forwarding your mail. **Please note: 1) If the personal e-mail account you redirect your mail to is deactivated or canceled at any time, you may not be able to recover your mail from the Lawrence mail server, and 2) Redirection will NOT allow you to see or reply to recipients of a received e-mail message other than yourself. This is another reason why Technology Services specifically recommends that all students use webmail.**
