University email

All students automatically receive a university email address with the format firstname.lastname@uni-konstanz.de along with their personal data sheet. Employees receive their address directly from KIM IT-Support at the KIM-Beratung in the Library Information Centre.

Reading and writing emails

You have two main options for reading and writing your e-mails:

  • Use a browser: You can read and write your e-mails in the browser from any computer anywhere in the world. The e-mails will be saved on the e-mail server. We provide the SOGo Groupware System, which, among other things, has webmail functionality.
  • by e-mail client. Here you access your mailbox via IMAP and read and process your e-mails with any client (Thunderbird, Outlook...)

User manager (password)

You can change the password for your university account by using the user manager. Your changes will take effect immediately.
