Email#

A fundamental service of the university is the university email. All university members—faculty, students, and staff—are assigned a personal email address at the beginning of their affiliation together with their university account. It usually follows the format <Initial>.<Lastname>@mh-freiburg.de, for example h.glarean@mh-freiburg.de.

You can access your emails directly in the browser with the webmail interface. However, we recommend adding your university email to your regular mail program. Instructions for doing so can be found further down on this page.

Webmail#

The webmail interface can be found at webmail.mh-freiburg.de. The site behaves like a standard email program: you can read, compose, and organize emails into folders.

Address Autocompletion#

The webmail provides the handy feature that the addresses of all university members are stored. When composing a new email, you can filter addresses by first and last name as well as the university abbreviation, giving you instant access to the email addresses of everyone at the university.

Out-of-Office Reply#

Under the menu item Settings → Out of Office, you can set up an automatic reply during vacation or other absences. Senders will then receive this notification when they email you.

Change Password#

Under Settings → Password, you can set a new password for your university account. The new password will then apply to all university services. Help for resetting a forgotten password can be found here.

Mail Program#

You can add your university email to any mail program such as Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook, or Mozilla Thunderbird. This works on both computers and mobile devices.

Account Settings#

To retrieve your university email, create an account in your mail program with the correct credentials.
