The College of Engineering Departments is using UCSB Connect for Mail Services.

You can get the instructions on how to add your UCSB Connect Account here:

UCSB Connect Support Documents

or

https://www.connect.ucsb.edu/training-support/connect-user-guides

Note

The login you will be using is your UCSBNetID and your UCSBNetID Password.  On most of the clients, you can set the initial email as:

<your username>@engineering.ucsb.edu

or

<your username>@<department>.ucsb.edu

But you will need to use your UCSBNetID Password for the password.  The username should be:

<UCSBNetID>@ucsb.edu

Note with GMail and sending as another @<dept>.ucsb.edu

There is a current known issue right now that people who wish to use their personal GMail to send as <username>@<dept>.ucsb.edu cannot be configured and gives an error about authentication.

Please refer to the following Article: Unable to set Send As on Gmail for @cs.ucsb.edu.
