Accessing your GCTC Mailbox

You can access your student mailbox in many ways (e.g. computer or phone)

The easiest way is via any browser

Your email can be used via our webmail service using any browser – go to https://www.outitgoes.com to sign in.

Use your email address and password provided.

On your favourite device

Your mailbox can be accessed via any device, e.g. SmartPhone (Android or iOS), Tablet, PC or Laptop.

Your mailbox can be loaded onto your device through your mail client (e.g. Outlook). 

It connects via what is known as IMAP

An IMAP Connection

By using an IMAP connection, you can have multiple ways of simultaneously connecting to the same mailbox. For example, you can have email on your phone, your tablet, and your computer, and when you delete a message from your phone, it will also be deleted on your other devices.

Your device or program will have an ‘add an account’ or similar instruction for email.

When adding your Mail Account to your device or software program on PC, you will need the following information:-

When selecting the account type, select IMAP.

User Name: Your Email Address
Password: Your Email Password

Incoming IMAP Server: imap.extendcp.co.uk
Incoming IMAP Server Port: 993
Incoming IMAP SSL: SSL/TLS Incoming
IMAP Authentication Type: Password

Outgoing Mail Server(SMTP): mta.extendcp.co.uk
Outgoing Mail Server Port: 587 for STARTTLS or 465 for SSL/TLS
Outgoing Mail Server SSL: STARTTLS or SSL/TLS
Outgoing Authentication Type: Password

If you are accessing your email via outitgoes.com, ensure that you enter your password directly and not via copy/paste from an email.

Most common email programmes on devices work the same way, and the information above (the IMAP settings) will work even if the instructions are slightly different. 

If you are having difficulty setting up your email, please get in touch.
