Email Client Options
Users could access their Wheelock College email account using various email clients, including:

- Mobile devices (using the college's mobile email app)
Email Storage
The Wheelock College email server had a limited storage capacity, which was typically around 100-200 MB per user. This meant that users had to regularly clean up their email inboxes to avoid running out of storage space.
Migration to Boston University
In 2018, Wheelock College merged with Boston University, and the college's IT infrastructure, including its email server, was integrated into Boston University's systems. As a result, Wheelock College email accounts were migrated to Boston University's email server, and users were given new email addresses with the @bu.edu domain.
Accessing Old Wheelock College Email Accounts
After the merger, Boston University provided a limited-time access to Wheelock College email accounts for users who needed to access their old emails. However, this access was only available for a short period, and users were encouraged to migrate their emails to their new Boston University email accounts.
