How to access my mail.mil account

To access your mail.mil account, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Ensure you have a valid CAC (Common Access Card) or DS Logon account

• If you have a CAC, make sure it's activated and you have the necessary software installed on your device.
• If you don't have a CAC, you can create a DS Logon account through the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) website.

Step 2: Go to the mail.mil login page

• Open a web browser and navigate to https://mail.mil.
• You may be prompted to select your organization or enter your username and password.

Step 3: Enter your username and password

• Enter your username (usually your full name or a unique identifier) and password.
• Make sure to use the correct case and punctuation, as these can affect your login attempt.

Step 4: Authenticate with your CAC or DS Logon credentials

• If you have a CAC, insert it into your reader and follow the prompts to authenticate.
• If you have a DS Logon account, enter your username and password to authenticate.

Step 5: Access your mail.mil account

• Once you've successfully authenticated, you'll be taken to your mail.mil inbox.
• You can now access your email, contacts, and other features.

Tips and Reminders

• Make sure your CAC or DS Logon account is up to date and not expired.
• If you're having trouble logging in, try resetting your password or contacting your organization's IT support.
• Be aware that mail.mil accounts are subject to DoD security policies and may be monitored for official business purposes.
