Type your username (what comes before the @mtu.edu in your e-mail address) and password. If you wish, check the box to Remember Password. Having an e-mail client remember your password makes it easier for others to access your e-mail if they use the same computer. Click Next to continue.

Go to the Advanced tab and check This server requires a
secure connection (SSL) under both Outgoing and Incoming mail.
Make sure the port numbers are 25 for outgoing and 993 for incoming.
Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) such as Charter and SBC do not
allow you to use port 25, so, in those cases use 2525. This should work
at all locations, so you can use port 2525 to be safe. Click OK
when you are finished.
