A core server service of the university is university email. All university members – instructors, students, and staff – are assigned a personal email address together with their university account at the start of their affiliation. It usually follows the pattern <Initial>.<Lastname>@mh-freiburg.de, e.g. h.glarean@mh-freiburg.de.
Use your university email for all communication related to your university activities or studies.
You can access your mail through the webmail interface, but we recommend adding the university account to your regular mail client; instructions are provided below.
Webmail
Visit webmail.mh-freiburg.de. The site behaves like a normal mail program: read, compose, and organize messages into folders.
Log in with your username (not your email address) and the password of your university account.
Address completion
The webmailer stores addresses of all university members. When composing a new message, you can filter by first name, last name, or university acronym, giving you instant access to every member’s email address.
Out-of-office reply
Under Settings → Out-of-office you can set an automatic reply that senders receive while you are on holiday or otherwise absent.
Mail client
Add your university email to any mail program such as Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook, or Mozilla Thunderbird.
Apps designed for specific providers (e.g. Google Mail) usually cannot manage third-party accounts.
Account settings
To retrieve university mail, create an account in your mail program with the correct credentials.
