Logger[net] Transition

The university has transitioned from Logger[net] and is leveraging technology that alumni use in their everyday lives to replace its functionality.

The ASK Network, formerly on Logger[net], can now be found on LinkedIn.

The social media functions of Logger[net] have been replaced with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media sites that provide better avenues for Loggers to connect.

The vendor we had been using for alumni email phased out this service on February 29, 2016. These accounts are being replaced with true inboxes run through Microsoft Office 365, bringing these alumni accounts into the same servicing networks used by the rest of the university. More information about the alumni email accounts can be found below.

  • I tried to set up the email account and I don't know the server name. What do I do?

    • POP: outlook.office365.com
    • IMAP: outlook.office365.com
    • SMTP: smtp.office365.com (port 587)

Generally you will not need the SMTP, IMAP or POP server addresses as your email client should have the option to add an "Exchange" or "Microsoft Exchange", or "Office 365" Email account.

If you are trying to get the email on a mobile device please go to https://portal.office.com/OLS/MySoftware.aspx and follow the links on the screen to get the Outlook app for your phone.

After getting the app, log in using your Puget Sound Alumni email user name and password.
