Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble getting signed in?

1. Did you sync your Google Apps password using Password Reset?
2. Did you remember to use your full SOU email address "username@sou.edu" for the User Name?
3. All IMAP clients differ, and you can configure your mail client's settings to best suit your needs. However, to work optimally with Gmail, we recommend certain settings. Please review Google's recommended IMAP client settings.

If you have already completed the steps above and are still experiencing trouble getting signed into your account please feel free to contact the Help Desk.
