Setting Up Your University E-Mail in Different E-Mail Clients
Whether Apple Mail, Gmail, Thunderbird, or any other client — the setup process is always very similar. This guide explains how to access your university E-Mails directly from your favorite mail app, anywhere.
This guide is based on an older KIZ manual (see here).
1. Add a New E-Mail Account
Usually found under Settings > Add Account, you can add a new E-Mail account there.
Log in using your university E-Mail address (firstname.lastname@uni-ulm.de, sometimes with -1, -2, … if your name is already taken) and your university password.
The password is the same one you use for all other university services (e.g., Sogo).
2. IMAP Settings
For manual setup, select IMAP as the protocol or account type.
Many mail apps automatically detect the correct settings, but some may require manual configuration.
The manual settings for incoming mail are:
(IMAP) Server:
imap.uni-ulm.de
Port:
993
Security Type:
SSL/TLS
For outgoing mail, use the following configuration:
(SMTP) Server:
mail.uni-ulm.de
Port:
587
Security Type:
STARTTLS
3. Done!
That’s it — simple as that! And the best part: it works the same way in every E-Mail app!
