E-mail Migration Over Summer 2002, USC migrated most of its faculty, staff, and student accounts (RCF, SCF, HSC, and ISD) to a new e-mail system, a message store at email.usc.edu. The instructions provided here will help you set up an e-mail client to check from the new system. Users on the previous system can compare their settings and make the appropriate changes to the Incoming and Outgoing mail servers, if necessary.
