UFF-FIU Webmail

Account

If you are an officer or a senator for UFF-FIU, then you are eligible for an email account at www.uff-fiu.org. This account should already have been created for you. If you did not receive your account notification, or have forgotten your password, then please contact the webmaster.

Security

Please do not read your UFF-FIU email from a mail server that is supplied by FIU. In other words, please don't read your UFF-FIU email from your office. Please do not read UFF-FIU email from your home computer if you are using an email server provided by FIU.

Access

There are several web-based email programs available from UFF-FIU. All of them can be reached from the webmail portal. You will be required to enter a username and password. These should already have been sent to you.

Username format: first.last

Password

From the access page you can change your password.

Forwarding

From the access page, you can request that your UFF-FIU email be forwarded to another account.

If you forward your account to another email address, be sure to open the webmail settings and unselect the option for keeping a copy of the message on the server. If you neglect to do this, your mailbox on UFF-FIU will become full and you will stop receiving messages.

Server Settings

If you would like to read your UFF-FIU email from a different email client, use the following settings:

Be sure that your outgoing server (SMTP server) is not set to an FIU server. Use the same server for outgoing as you used for incoming. Always check your mail just before sending a message to ensure you are authorized.
