E-Mail & Groupware

Service: Every Universität Münster member has a personal e-mail address: "university-ID@uni-muenster.de". Important university e-mails will be sent to this address. It can be personalized in the IT Portal (e.g. "firstname.surname@uni-muenster.de"). After leaving the university (e.g. through exmatriculation or end of contract), students and employees can continue to use their email inbox for another three months (shorter periods may apply for other groups of people). After that, it is usually no longer possible to access the data and emails in it. Please ensure that you back up your e-mails in good time or forward e-mails relevant to your work to the appropriate persons.

As a student, you can check your e-mails via the standard mailbox. As an employee, you have the option of using the Exchange groupware. Exchange is used for the simple and secure administration of e-mails, appointments (calendar) and tasks.

Target Group: students, employees, alumni

Usage Costs: free of charge
