In UMS, how do I check my email?

Note: To use Unified Messaging Service (UMS) to check your email, you must be using IU Exchange as your email service.

In UMS, you have two options for checking your email:

• You can use your email client, as you normally would.
  
  
• You can use a telephone to access your email. The UMS telephone interface will read your email messages aloud to you over the phone using a text-to-speech converter. To access your email through the UMS telephone user interface:
  
  
  1. Dial the telephone number for UMS on your campus; see What are the telephone numbers for UMS?

  2. Enter your full 10-digit mailbox number (i.e., 812-85X-XXXX or 317-27X-XXXX), not just the last 5 digits.

  3. Enter your UMS passcode.
     
     
  4. At the main voice menu, press 3 to access your IU Exchange email messages.
     
     
  5. Press 1 to listen to new email messages, or 2 to listen to saved messages.

  You can save, delete, forward, or replay any of your email messages; follow the instructions on the phone menu to carry out these options.

For help learning how to use UMS, view the UMS Voicemail Training Video, or print the UMS Wallet Card of common shortcuts.
