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, see Accessing email. Additionally, some departments may offer their own mail servers for their members. Contact your department's local support provider (LSP) for details.

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, 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.
