Sending email from off campus

You have four options for sending email from your UB email address while connecting from off campus:

1. Use secure SMTP
   Secure SMTP allows you to use smtp.buffalo.edu from your off-campus internet connection.
2. Use UBmail
   UBmail is web-based email service you can use from nearly any computer.
3. Use your ISP's outgoing (SMTP) email server
   Check with your ISP for necessary configuration settings.
4. Use VPN
   Connect to the UB network with our virtual private network (VPN) software to use the UB outgoing email server (SMTP) from off campus ISPs.
