Check SFU Alumni email in Gmail

Since I am a graduate of Simon Fraser University (SFU) in BC, I use their alumni email service. Aside from the copious amounts of spam that come through, it is useful to stay in touch with past professors, friends, and other networks. The worst part has to be the online interface used to check email...it's horrible.

If you're like me and would much rather check your SFU Alumni email in Gmail, then do the following:
1. Login to Gmail
2. Click on "Settings" at the top right side

3. Click on the "Accounts" tab
4. By 'Get Mail from Other Accounts' click on "Add another email Account"
5. Type in your SFU Alumni email address and click "Next"
6. In account enter your SFU username (without the @alumni.sfu.ca), and enter your password
7. POP Server = pop.alumni.sfu.ca
8. Click "Add Account". If it's setup correctly you'll get an email set to your alumni account. check it and either click on the link to verify, or copy the number and paste it back in the Gmail screen to verify. That's it...your SFU Alumni email should be flowing in at that point.
