[https://hjelp.uib.no/tas/public/ssp/content/detail/service?unid=807e80ba92b24ace932886f4e4321613 Information about e-mail is now found in UiBhjelp.]
 
Your e-mail is linked to the user account you have as a student or employee. You may read your e-mail in different ways to your liking, or depending on the type of connection you use.
 
The easiest way is to use a normal web browser without , by logging in to one of the websites [https://outlook.office.com outlook.office.com], [https://kalender.uib.no kalender.uib.no] or [https://webmail.uib.no/ webmail.uib.no/].
 
''Although this is an easy solution, it is hardly an effective tool for those who use e-mail a lot, receive many messages or have greater demands on the e-mail program. Then you should have a separate e-mail program on your machine.''
 
== Account name ==
 
'''Your email account name''' is the same as your logon name on UiB computers, [https://miside.uib.no/register/?return%5furl=%2fdotlrn%2f%3flocale%3den%255fUS My Space], etc.
 
 
== Email address ==
 
 
=== Students ===
 
'''firstname.lastname@student.uib.no'''
: or
username@uib.no or
 
You may prefer to use capital letters.
 
'''Examples:'''
edvard.grieg@student.uib.no, Edvard.Grieg@student.uib.no, egr789@uib.no
 
 
=== Employees ===
 
'''firstname.lastname@xyz.uib.no'''
(xyz should be replaced with your departments abbreviation, like med, ii, sars, etc.)
: or
firstname.lastname@uib.no
:or
username@uib.no
 
You may prefer to use capital letters.
 
'''Examples:'''
edvard.grieg@grieg.uib.no, Edvard.Grieg@uib.no, egr789@uib.no
 
 
== Incoming mail server ==
 
The IT department recommends IMAP if you want to have access to your email from more than one computer, and want backup on a UiB server. If you choose POP in stead, you should consider to set it up to leave mail on server (if available). You should also be aware that if you read email on more than one computer, parts of your email will be spread on all of those computers. If you have a large inbox, POP is particularly slow.
 
 
=== IMAP setup (recommended) ===
 
==== Incoming mail server / IMAP server ====
 
Employees: '''imap.uib.no'''
 
Students: '''imap.student.uib.no'''
 
Check '''SSL''' for secure encrypted logon
 
==== Home directory ====
 
'''mail'''
:or
'''mail/'''
 
If one is not working, try the other.
 
 
=== POP setup (not recommended) ===
 
Incoming mail server:
 
Employees: '''pop.uib.no'''
 
Students: '''pop.student.uib.no'''
 
Check '''SSL''' for secure encrypted logon
 
 
== Outgoing mail (SMTP) server ==
 
Employees: '''smtp.uib.no'''
 
Students: '''smtp.student.uib.no'''
 
Problems sending email outside UiB? See [[#Problems?|below]].
 
== Problems? ==
 
The IT department in general does not offer support for private equipment, but will try to give some information on web for some problems which are common for UiB users.
 
You may have problems sending email through UiB's smtp servers when you are connected to Internet outside UiB. Using [[VPN]] should solve the problem, or just log on to check your inbox before you try to send.
 
Check [[:Category:Email|other pages about email]], look for a relevant [[:Category:FAQ|FAQ]] or [[Special:Search|search]] this site. You may, of course, also try to search the Internet.
 
Students who have problems may ask a [[IT-assistants]]. Maybe ho/she is able to have a quick look and give some advice.
