UMIACS has wound down its Exchange and IMAP mailbox Email services as of June 30th 2020 to comply with the UMD Institutional Email standard.

The Division of IT handled the migration for some individuals that previously forwarded their UMD mail to their UMIACS mailbox. We sent an email to all users that were covered by this on May 1st 2020 with the subject line "UMIACS Email Migration". If you received this email, you do not need to do anything on this page.

If you did not receive this email and are instead being directed here by a message received on May 5th 2020 with the subject line "UMIACS Email Self-Migration", you needed to update your email preference in our Directory app before June 2nd 2020 at 9am. If you did not do this, on June 2nd 2020 at 9am, the UMIACS Technical Staff updated your email forward to be your corresponding @umd.edu email address if you have/had one, or the last known email address we had on record for you if you do not and you used either our Exchange or IMAP service.

If you do not have a @umd.edu address and would like to update your email forwarding address to be a different one from the one that we changed it to:

  1. Log into our Directory app.
  2. Under the 'Email' section, change the listed address under Forward to the address of your choosing.
  3. Click Submit at the bottom of the page.
  4. Begin checking new email to your @umiacs.umd.edu address at the address you just chose.
