Getting more spam lately?

Email

  • Your default UW email address consists of your UW NetID followed by "@u.washington.edu" (your_uwnetid@u.washington.edu). You now also have the option of using the shorter "uw.edu" domain, but some configuration of your email program is necessary (see Using the uw.edu Address).
  • UW Google EmailUW Outlook Live is a free email service available for current UW students, alumni, and former students. It provides ad-free email and calendaring with 10 GB of storage and continued use of your @u.washington.edu or @uw.edu email address. To activate a UW Outlook Live account, you must sign up for a UW Windows Live ID.
  • UW Google EmailUW Google Email is a free email service available for current UW students, alumni, and former students. It provides ad-free email and calendaring with over 7 GB of storage and continued use of your @u.washington.edu or @uw.edu email address. To activate a UW Google Email account, you must sign up for UW Google Apps services.
  • UW Email logo UW Email (also known as UW Deskmail) is a free email service available to all faculty, staff, and students. You can use UW Email from any networked computer available to you.
  • If you prefer to receive your email on some email service other than UW Email be sure to set your email forwarding by going to the Manage Your UW NetID Services site. Doing so ensures that email sent to your default my_uwnetid@u.washington.edu email address will reach you, including official email from the UW.
