The University at Buffalo (UB) email system!

The University at Buffalo uses a Microsoft-based email system, which is managed by the university's Information Technology (IT) department. Here are some key features and tips to help you navigate the UB email system:

Email Address: Your UB email address typically follows the format: [yourUBID]@buffalo.edu (e.g., [email protected]).

Webmail Access: You can access your UB email account through the webmail interface at https://webmail.buffalo.edu.

Features:

  1. Calendar: You can schedule appointments, meetings, and events using the calendar feature.
  2. Contacts: You can store and manage your contacts, including phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses.
  3. Tasks: You can create and manage to-do lists and reminders.
  4. Notes: You can jot down notes and ideas using the built-in note-taking feature.
  5. File Storage: You have access to a limited amount of file storage space, which you can use to store documents, images, and other files.

Tips:

  1. Use the UB email client: The UB email client is a more comprehensive and feature-rich interface than the webmail interface. You can access it by clicking on the "Email" button in the UB portal or by downloading the Microsoft Outlook client.
  2. Set up your email client: Set up your email client to sync with your UB email account to access your email, calendar, and contacts on your device.
  3. Use two-factor authentication: Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to add an extra layer of security to your account.
  4. Manage your spam filters: You can customize your spam filters to help reduce the amount of spam you receive.
  5. Report issues: If you encounter any issues with your UB email account, report them to the UB IT Help Desk.
