E-mail

E-mail services include the provision of a centralised groupware infrastructure with the following features:

• E-mail account (size: 2 GB) and personal e-mail address
• Calendar
• Contacts
• Tasks
• Notes

All users can access these services through a web front-end, in which an internal university address book is also stored to simplify communication. In addition to the pure administration of groupware functions, you can also make settings for forwarding, signatures or out of office notifications in the front-end. Interfaces are provided for the groupware functions so that they can be used with standard client software.

Login to the e-mail client:

User name: primary e-mail address (usually firstname.lastname@hsbi.de)

Password: standard university password

By default, you access your e-mail account through the webmail interface at www.hsbi.de/webmail. Use with Microsoft Outlook software is only supported with ActiveSync.

Please note that the size of outgoing e-mails may be limited depending on the e-mail client you use. The maximum sizes of e-mails including attachments are as follows:

-         100 MB for Microsoft Outlook and other desktop clients

-         25 MB for webmail

-         10 MB for mobile clients connected via ActiveSync (e.g. iOS Mail app)

If there is any suspicion of misuse of the e-mail account by third parties (e.g. by compromised accounts), the e-mail account will be blocked in order to prevent further sending. Support is provided by the university’s IT ServiceDesk, unless otherwise specified.
