Using Email at IAS

The Information Technology Group (ITG) has various methods available for connecting to email. Our recommendation is to utilize Zimbra Webmail as much as possible, as it is our most reliable email client and it is accessible from any Internet-enabled computer or device.

The following email clients have been tested and verified to work with IAS email.

NOTE: If you are part of the School of Mathematics or School of Natural Sciences, please visit the computing support page for your school.

Zimbra Webmail

Zimbra Webmail allows you to use any web browser to send and receive email messages, manage your calendar, store names and numbers of your contacts, and track your tasks.

Microsoft Outlook

Outlook is a stand alone application that allows you to send and receive email messages, manage your calendar, store names and numbers of your contacts, and track your tasks.

NOTE: If you choose to use Outlook for off-campus access, you will need to purchase the software independently. Due to licensing restrictions, the Information Technology Group cannot install this application on any non-Institute computer.

Apple Mail

Mac users can connect to their IAS email through the native Apple Mail application by using the secure IMAP protocol.

Mozilla Thunderbird

Mozilla Thunderbird is a free cross-platform email client developed by the same team that created the Mozilla Firefox internet browser.

Mobile Devices (iPhone, Android, Windows Phone)

Smartphones and tablets are able to connect to IAS email through their native mail applications using ActiveSync.
