Bumping this thread if the OP is still interested.
I'm a student at UB for 3 years ++ and I used to work for the IT department as a student helper.
Old accounts uses UB mail servers
Newer accounts (2010 I believe) & alumni accounts uses Google App mail servers.
I had the old account but I have migrated to the newer Google App mail account.
If you have the old account, you can use the imap.buffalo.edu & smtp.buffalo.edu servers.
With the Google app account, you cant use the imap access directly due to shibboleth authentication. (Meaning, your password is authenticated by UB's website before you are forwarded to Google apps)
What I did was, create another Gmail account solely for my UBMail(gmail). I forward all the mails from UBMail(gmail)to a new Gmail account.
Incoming mail server -> imap.gmail.com
Outgoing mail server -> smtp.buffalo.edu
I use this setup for my computer's Mail clients as well.
