The computer center runs a central email system with functions such as central mail administration, group and distribution lists, Webmail, SPAM filter, virus protection, mailing lists and a calendar.
All students and staff at Fulda University therefore can use an email account on the central email servers of the computer center.
You will receive an account for the email system automatically on enrolling at Fulda University or when you start employment at Fulda University.
The email address is generated dynamically and is composed of your first name and last name. In case of name conflicts, a number is added to the name. In case of double names, the second name is added with a hyphen. Email addresses have the following form:
First name.last name@departement.hs-fulda.de
The following settings apply regarding storage space and attachments:
User group | Email storage space | Maximum attachment size |
---|---|---|
Staff | 20 GB | 60 MB |
Students | 5 GB | 60 MB |
