This page outlines the E-mail offering that UMIACS provides.
===Introduction===


Depending on the environment you'll be working in, you have two primary choices for mail. You can decide on our PC based solution [[#Microsoft Exchange Email]] or a [[UNIXEmail|IMAP Email]] solution. Both provide scanning for Virus and Spam through our [[BarracudaSpamFirewall|Barracuda Spam Firewall]]
==UMIACS E-mail Offerings==
A UMIACS account includes a username@umiacs.umd.edu e-mail address. If you are a University of Maryland employee, this address is required to forward to your directoryid@umd.edu e-mail address. If you are not a University of Maryland employee, you can forward this address to an external email provider. (e.g. gmail, yahoo, etc.)


Alternatively if you already have a Email provider you like we offer the ability to forward your Email.
If your UMIACS account was closed within the last year, we can provide forwarding for this address (username@umiacs.umd.edu) up until one year from the date that the account was closed '''upon request only'''.  If you would like us to set this up, please [[HelpDesk | contact staff]] and let us know the address to forward to.  


You can update your Email preference through our [https://intranet.umiacs.umd.edu/chinfo Directory Profile] Tool.
If you previously had a UMIACS Exchange or IMAP mailbox prior to the Division of IT-mandated [[EmailMigration | email migration]] in June 2020 and would like a copy of the archive of your mailbox we made, please [[HelpDesk | contact staff]].


===Microsoft Exchange Email===
==How do I know where my E-mail is being sent?==
If you are accustomed with Microsoft Outlook and/or need a shared calendar then we offer the UMIACS Exchange service. If you work primarily on a PC, collaborate with primarily PC-based users, expect to email MIME attachments or just feel most comfortable with a PC based mail solution, the exchange mailserver is likely the best solution for you. Among other things, it also supports IMAP, vacation (auto-response) and virus filtering capabilities.
You can verify your current E-mail preference through our [https://intranet.umiacs.umd.edu/directory/info Directory Profile Tool].

The link for the Exchange web interface is https://exchange.umiacs.umd.edu/owa.  It is also on the front page of our intranet site (https://intranet.umiacs.umd.edu).  Please note that the web interface works best in IE.
 
===[[UNIXEmail|IMAP Email]]===
Our IMAP service is available as a simple multi-platform way of reading your mail.  It provides powerful server-side mail filtering.  You can configure you own client or use our [[Webmail]] server to read your email.

UMIACS E-mail Offerings

A UMIACS account includes a username@umiacs.umd.edu e-mail address. If you are a University of Maryland employee, this address is required to forward to your directoryid@umd.edu e-mail address. If you are not a University of Maryland employee, you can forward this address to an external email provider. (e.g. gmail, yahoo, etc.)

If your UMIACS account was closed within the last year, we can provide forwarding for this address (username@umiacs.umd.edu) up until one year from the date that the account was closed upon request only. If you would like us to set this up, please contact staff and let us know the address to forward to.

If you previously had a UMIACS Exchange or IMAP mailbox prior to the Division of IT-mandated email migration in June 2020 and would like a copy of the archive of your mailbox we made, please contact staff.
