Email at each IU campus

Through UITS, Indiana University provides access to email services for students, faculty, and staff at each university campus. The types of accounts available to you may vary based on the campus and your status at IU. For more information, see At IU, what email systems are available?

To access your email account, you may use your web browser or a separate mail client. For more information, see the Accessing email section of this document. Additionally, some departments may offer their own mail servers for their members. Contact your department's local support provider for details.

Accessing email

Student email (Imail/Umail)

Access your Imail or Umail account from OneStart. On the Services tab, select Email on the left, and then click the tab for your account. For browser requirements, see About OneStart and web browsers.

Also, you can access your account directly using the appropriate URL:

• Imail: https://imail.iu.edu/
• Umail: https://umail.iu.edu/

You can configure an email client to access your Imail or Umail account; see Reading your Imail or Umail mail using a desktop email client

Cyrus accounts

Use your web browser to access your account using IU Webmail:

Depending on the arrangements at your campus, you may also have the option of using one of several different graphical programs to access your Cyrus mail account. For more information, see Reading your Cyrus mail using a desktop email client.

Note: The options above are simply different clients with which to read your email. These clients are independent of your Cyrus mailbox, which is stored on a remote server. To change between mail clients, you do not have to set up special forwarding for your mail. Regardless of the client you use, incoming mail will still be delivered to your account on Cyrus mail.

Exchange accounts

You may use one of several different programs to access your Exchange account. For more information, see Reading your Exchange mail using a desktop email client.
