Other Email Clients

You can configure other email clients if you don’t wish to use Gmail for your email.

However, we discourage the use of other email clients because of the possibility an official University email message will be blocked or otherwise missed.

Also, university policy requires students to read all official email sent from Boise State email addresses.
