Since the Waikato student account is somewhat funny (authentication is done by UoW, not GMail), you won't be able to use IMAP with it. Probably best to forward all emails to another, regular GMail account and then use IMAP with that one.

They appear to support POP3 access (See http://waikato.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/waikato.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_fa... ) with Gmail. I had a go at making IMAP work last semester but I never could make it do anything. I was going to email the ITS help desk about it but never got around to doing so. My guess is that they may have disabled it - all the IMAP documentation seems to be missing from the waikato gmail help area. -- David Goodwin
