Step 1: Email Set Up

Choose your preferred email client:

Gmail:

Note: college gmail student accounts won't allow you to add a second "send as" email address. Adding your @collegezoom.com email only works with regular gmail accounts. 1. Go into your mail settings (click on the gear symbol and then click "See All Settings" in the pop up menu that appears)
2. Click the "Accounts and Imports" tab

1. Find: "send mail as" and link your [name]@collegezoom.com email
2. Leave “Treat as alias” checked
3. For SMTP server input: smtp.office365.com
4. For port put 587
5. For username and password, use the credentials provided to you by David
6. Check TLS (recommended)
7. Keep this page open and go onto part 2 below.

Part 2: Setting Up Incoming Mail So You Can Receive Mail Sent to Your College Zoom Email Address on Google

1. Now locate the "Check Mail From Other Accounts" area (it is just below the area where you just worked)
2. Click "Add a mail account"
3. Enter your [name]@collegezoom.com email into the yellow box that pops up and click next
4. By default, "Import Emails from my other account (POP3) will be the only option you can choose, so click next
5. In username, enter [your name]@collegezoom.com and insert the password provided by David
6. In POP server, enter: outlook.office365.com
7. For Port, select 995 and check the two boxes: (1) "Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server." and (2) "Always use a secure connection (SSL) when retrieving mail" options, then click "add account"


Part 3: Gmail will mark some College Zoom emails as Junk unless you do this

Office365 can be a bit hyperactive at times with filtering emails as junk. Therefore, I recommend that, at least once a day, log into this webpage: thesitewizard.com (using your current CZ email credentials) and look in the email junk folder. Sometimes legitimate emails will go there. If they do, be sure to click the button to report the emails as not spam. That way, Office 365 will no longer automatically filter emails from that sender to the spam box

Part 4: Possible Glitch

If you're using gmail, there's a known glitch that might affect you. It's emails you send to others via your College Zoom email address through gmail are automatically sent to you as if you emailed a new message to yourself. If this happens to you, here is how to fix it.

In settings, go to Filters and Blocked Addresses
You can create a filter where if your CZ email sends an email to your GMAIL, you can opt to have it automatically deleted.

For example, I put in these filter features:
From David@collegezoom.com
To: david.b.reynaldo@gmail.com

Then I clicked create filter and in the options of actions to take when these conditions are met, I selected "delete it". However, in your case, ensure the email you set for your filters is your own College Zoom email.

Step 3: Skype Set Up

Skype will no longer allow you to create a Skype account using your [name]@collegezoom.com email outright. Hence, you'll need to create a Skype account with a personal email and then add your [name]@collegezoom.com email after your account is created. When you add your College Zoom email to Skype, If you don't get the verification email, use the email credentials David sent you to log into: your mailbox on our web server.

Once set up, make the phone number as (310) 770-1829 and set a professional headshot or this image as your user image avatar.

Lastly, add david@collegezoom.com as a contact on Skype!
