Client Configuration Details

Faculty and staff can click here to download the Groupwise software for use at home or on a laptop.
For staff email accounts using the Groupwise Client:

  • Online Address: gwpoa.uregina.ca
  • Port: 1677

Groupwise is the only support email client.  However, the following information is provided to enable configuration of unsupported IMAP clients:

  • IMAP server - gwimap.uregina.ca - Incoming mail server port 143
  • SMTP server - smtp.uregina.ca - Outgoing mail server port 587 (Setup with Authentication, not SSL and input your email username and password)

For POP3 clients like Eudora the following information should be provided:

  • pop mail account - username@gwpop.uregina.ca - Incoming mail server port 110
  • SMTP server - smtp.uregina.ca - Outgoing mail server port 587 (Setup with Authentication, not SSL and input your email username and password)

When configuring email clients there is often a setting that controls the duration between checks for new email. This should not be set below 15 minutes as frequent checks from hundreds of clients puts a tremendous strain on the email server.
