IAS Email
Our recommendation is to utilize IAS Webmail as much as possible as it is rich in features and offerings and is accessible from any computer or device around the world connected to the Internet and that has a web browser installed. The online documentation for using IAS Webmail can be found here.
If you prefer to use a desktop email client, then the following have been tested and verified to work with IAS Email:
- Apple Mail with iCal and Contacts
- Mozilla Thunderbird
- (al)pine
You can also setup your mail on a mobile device:
- Apple iPhone/iPad ActiveSync (preferred) or IMAP
- Android devices
Many more applications and devices can connect by using the standard IMAP settings below:
- Username: This is the portion of your IAS email address before the @ sign. For example, if your IAS email address is jdoe@ias.edu, your IAS username is jdoe.
- Email address: your IAS email address (e.g. jdoe@ias.edu)
