What if I already have a name@alumni.ubc.ca email address?
When you sign up for a new Student Email account as an active student, your email address will change to cwl@student.ubc.ca. However email sent to your name@alumni.ubc.ca will continue to be delivered. Current students are encouraged to switch to the new cwl@student.ubc.ca email account to gain access to a range of UBC services, including Microsoft Teams and OneDrive.
Setting up your UBC Hosted email on your mobile device is super simple. Please visit the UBC Setup Documentation screen for step-by-step instructions for configuring your smart phone or tablet devices to use the UBC Student and Alumni Email Service over ActiveSync.
While setup documentation for ActiveSync access is provided at the link above, UBC IT Services recommends using Outlook Web Access to access your mailbox (via this link: https://webmail.alumni.ubc.ca/)
If you are experiencing difficulty attaching documents when composing an email using the Outlook Web App when accessing your UBC Hosted Mailbox, select "Use light version of Outlook Webb App" at logon).
