Our email is currently hosted on several of the Group servers along with many other institutes and organizations. You can access your mail through clients such as Eudora, or if you are elsewhere and on the move you can access it through 'webmail'.
How to use webmail:
- Goto the email portal, https://mail.student.ethz.ch/exchange.
- Login using your username and password. Note that your username is not necessarily what appears before the @, it is the username which was emailed to you when your account was created. If you aren't sure what that is, look at your Eudora settings under "Login Name", or have someone look at an email you sent to them and tell you what is listed on your emails under 'X-sender'.
- Under 'Options' you can change your password, or create an 'Auto Reply Message' for when you are busy or away from ETH.
- If you want to change your email password or auto-forward your mail, you need to login here and make those changes at Netz (see instructions under Dialup).
- Click on 'Log Off' when you are done and be sure to close your browser program.
How to configure Eudora: (below is just the critical options)
- Set the POP and SMTP servers to 'mail.student.ethz.ch'.
- Set the return address to 'yourfirstname.lastname@erdw.ethz.ch'.
Problems?
- Email not working?
- People sending mail to you at 'firstname.lastname@erdw.ethz.ch' and it's not reaching you?
- Can't log on to webmail? (By the way, 3 bad logins and you are locked out permanently.)
- etc etc...
Send an email to Andrew or Jamie in these cases...
