I asked the UTSA support staff about IMAP access to the new GMail 
powered UTSA email and they said they should have IMAP support starting 
in the summer. If you're still using the lonestar email, you need to go 
to ASAP and enable your new UTSA email account. At least the GMail 
interface is much better than the lonestar one. Now if you're referring 
to accessing another email account from the UTSA Rowdy network, then, 
yes, it is pretty annoying that they're blocking POP access.
