Email setup at LST

As a user of the LST computer systems it is mandatory that you check your email at regular intervals. Your LST email address is your official contact email address.

Our mail server provides access via IMAP/TLS, IMAPS, POP3/TLS, POP3S, SMTPS and SUBMISSION:

mail.lst.uni-saarland.de

We recommend using IMAP.

See here for webmail access, mail filters, vacation replies and how to forward your email to an external account.

DSL Anti Spam Feature

Some DSL routers (especially from German Telekom) have an anti spam feature which prevents sending emails from home. You may need to deactivate this setting or add our mail server as another exception.

Webmail

There exists a webmail interface for accessing your emails and configuring your email forwards and filters.

• Open a web broswer (e.g. Firefox, Safari, Konqueror, ...). Visit our new webmail interface running Squirrelmail: https://webmail.coli.uni-saarland.de

• Log in using your username and password. You need to have browser cookies activated for Squirrelmail to work properly.

You can comfortably check your emails while away from our department, e.g. at home or on a conference. If you do, please make sure that the computer you use for accessing webmail is trustworthy.
