How to configure a program to read the UiO e-mail

All office computers at UiO shall have the right settings. The information in this document can be used to make settings in the email program at home, on a mobile phone or another computer or mobile device. You also need to make these settings if you choose to use an email program that is not supported at UiO on your office computer. See list of supported applications.

Find your e-mail address 

You will always have to enter your e-mail address. If you are not sure of your e-mail address you will find e-mail information in Brukerinfo. Log in with your UiO username and password.
