You fetch your e-mail by IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol). Then you can use the feature to create own directories at the e-mail server. This is convenient if you like to manage your e-mails from different places and different e-mail clients.Use TLS encryption.
How to send e-mail
Send your e-mail to
mail.urz.uni-heidelberg.de port 587
using the UNI-HD as account name
this mailer can be used from all over the world. It offers TSL encryption for secure password and e-mail transfer.
Nevertheless you might have problems using it from outside. The reasons are in most cases some security restrictions by your external provider in your outside environment. Often the access of an send mailer is allowed to local servers only and your attempt to mail.uni-heidelberg.de is blocked by a firewall. In this case you have to ask the remote provider for an access to an SMTP server.
Spam filter
