Accessing your email
Password
When you change your password for one service, your password will automatically change for other services too. You can view more info on passwords at the university here.
Note: Some services have their own passwords which cannot be updated by using IT Accounts e.g. the Unix service.
Email security
As a large institution the university is targeted by malicious emails. If you are unsure about an email, please read our guidance on how to spot phishing emails.
The PureMessage email filtering service scans email entering the university network for spam, phishing and viruses before being delivered to your mailbox.
Users sending university communications via email must use their university account. Personal email accounts must not be used for conducting university business or communications.
