IMAP/SMTP Settings for Google Mail

In order for a device, an app, or another mail account to send and receive mail using your Wesleyan account, it may need to use IMAP and SMTP servers.

These are often detected automatically.  In the event that they are detected incorrectly and you cannot send/receive using your Wes mail account, these are the correct settings your device should use:

IMAP: imap.gmail.com,  Port:993, use SSL: on

SMTP:  smtp.gmail.com, Port:587,  use TLS: on

outgoing server log on using username@wes/wes eportfolio password

7. When you are done click Finish enrolling users

To modify the roles for existing users

1. You can add a role for a given user by clicking on the “+” sign in the relevant row of the Roles column
2. Roles are additive, so any user can have more than one role
3. If you wish to remove a role for a user, click the “X” in the label for that role in relevant cell of the table

To remove a manually added user

1. Click the “X” in the enrollment box at the far right in that user’s row

Tips

• Course builders can modify most elements of your course, but cannot interact with students or see grades
• Graders can assign grades, but cannot generally modify elements of your course
• A user with both Course builder and Grader roles has most of the abilities of a teacher
• Auditors will typically have the role of Student
• If you make yourself a student in your course you will be able to submit assignments and test gradebook calculations on yourself
