how to import your DYC mail into Gmail

Many students ask about “forwarding” their DYC email to their personal Yahoo or Gmail email addresses, because most people have a personal email account that they plan to continue to use in addition to their DYC address.

Even though forwarding services are not available on the D’Youville email server, you can still set up your Yahoo or Gmail email accounts to import your DYC email into those web-mail services.

First, you need to know the following 3 things about your DYC email account before you get started:

your DYC network username
your DYC network password
the D’Youville email server address for students, which is stumail.dyc.edu (the email server name is not the same for DYC staff)

The advantage to setting up your Yahoo or Gmail email accounts to import your DYC email is that you only have one webmail account to check. Since it is more convenient to check your DYC webmail this way, you’ll get your DYC email more regularly and keep up with the latest events on campus.

1. For Gmail users, log in and click on the Settings link in the top right corner of the screen.
2. Inside the Settings window, click on the link for the Accounts tab.
3. Click on the link to Add another email address.
4. Type your name in the first blank, and your complete DYC email address in the second blank.
The example in the picture below is how a student named Pat Student might fill out the blanks in step 4 above.
5. Click on the button to Send Verification, then log into your DYC webmail to complete the verification process.
6. Confirm the verification by clicking the link in your DYC email (the one Gmail sent you) or type in the confirmation code in the blank.
7. Back in the Accounts tab, here at the bottom of the screen, click on the link to edit info for the new account you just set up.
8. Fill in the blank for POP Server with the address stumail.dyc.edu. The Port number is 110. NOTE: If you don’t plan to log directly into your DYC mail anymore, make sure the checkbox next to “Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server” is NOT checked, as shown in the example above—this will make it so that your DYC inbox doesn’t get too full. Make sure you click the Save Changes button.
