Huskymail Forwarding

Your HuskyMail can always be accessed at http://huskymail.uconn.edu with your NetID and password. What many people don’t know about is the http://huskymailforwarding.uconn.edu page, which allows you to have your HuskyMail automatically sent to another email account, such as Gmail.

You can configure a mail program such as Microsoft Outlook or a handheld device (i.e. an iPhone) to send and receive your HuskyMail. The setup process varies across devices; we have documentation available only for Microsoft Outlook 2003, linked under Windows XP below. Otherwise, follow these guidelines when adding a new mail account:

  • Server type: IMAP
  • Username: NetID
  • Password: NetID password
  • Incoming mail server: huskymail.uconn.edu, port 993
  • Outgoing mail server: smtp.uconn.edu, port 25

Windows XP Configuration


  • From the Tools menu, select E-mail Accounts.
  • Choose Add a new email account and click Next.
  • You will be prompted to choose a server type; select IMAP.
  • Next, enter your name, email address, and HuskyMail password.
  • The incoming mail server should be huskymail.uconn.edu, and the outgoing should be smtp.uconn.edu.
  • After this, click on the More settings… box in the bottom-right corner of the window.
  • Make sure that the incoming mail server is set to use port 993, and check “use a secure connection.”
  • The outgoing mail server should be set to port 25. Click OK, then Next, and you should be finished! – See an example see it
