Email Information

Everyone uses email. And everyone has problems with email. We have collected some of the most common questions, grouped into the following broad categories:

Checking Email

Engineering students, faculty, and staff can check their email in a number of ways, including:

• Using the College of Engineering WebMail. This WebMail service is available for all Engineering faculty, staff and students. Webmail allows you to view your mail from anywhere in the world via a web interface.
• Using Google Apps for CSU.
• Using our supported mail client, Mozilla Thunderbird: download - setup instructions
• Using Microsoft Outlook. Please note that ACNS supports Microsoft Exchange and Outlook at CSU.

Common Email Requests

You probably only want one email address. But CSU gives you one, the Engineering College gives you one, and you likely had one before college. You can forward email from one account to another to get rid of the confusion.

A common complaint is that you can't send email. Here's the solution to problems sending email.

Email Services - Virus and Spam Blocking

When sending attachments via email, you should be aware that CSU has installed a virus scanner that may affect attachments.

Yep, we hate SPAM (junk mail) too! Find out more information about spam blocking at CSU.

Alumni Email

As of March 31, 2011 the Engineering Alumni email server was shut down as this service has moved to Using Google Apps for CSU. More information about alumni email.
