Your CAEDM account may have an e-mail address included with it, depending on when your account was created. This address is separate from both of the following:
- Your listed e-mail. This is the e-mail account that you chose to provide when you created your CAEDM account.
- Any other university provided e-mail.
Your CAEDM e-mail, if you have one, will be:
your_username@et.byu.edu
It is important to note that e-mails you send or recieve with this address are stored on your J Drive and, as such, count against your Quota.

Accessing Your CAEDM E-mails
Browser Interface
Your e-mails can be viewed through a browser interface. Log in with your CAEDM credentials to see your e-mail. You may recieve an error; if this happens, you likely created your account recently and therefor have not recieved an e-mail account with your membership at CAEDM.
Personal Client
You can also view your CAEDM mail through an e-mail client of your choice. To do so, set the following options in your e-mail product:
Account Type: POP3 or IMAP, both are supported by CAEDM. POP3/IMAP Server: mail.et.byu.edu SMTP Server: mail.et.byu.edu Username: Your CAEDM username Password: Your CAEDM password
This setup will only allow you access from ON campus, as it is now. To receive access off campus as well, you need to connect through SSL. Use the following specifications instead:
Account Type: IMAP IMAP Server: sslmail.et.byu.edu IMAP Port: 993 SMTP Server: sslmail.et.byu.edu SMTP Port: 465 Username: Your CAEDM username Password: Your CAEDM password
