Forwarding your UniMail to CSE

Posted 6 months, 3 weeks ago at 9:35 pm. 0 comments

UNSW Unimail hasn’t had IMAP for a while, and the new introduction of zMail brings IMAP but also brings along with it a convoluted Windows Live system that very few linux fans are going to agree with. And so, we’re going to show you how to forward your unimail/zMail to CSE (or any other email service), so you can access it over IMAP.

You’ll first have to change your identity with UNSW IT services, at the following URL:

https://idm.unsw.edu.au/idm/user/login.jsp

Add an alias for your emails with the ‘Update Alias’ button if you want to replace z#######@student.unsw.edu.au with something like firstname.lastname@student.unsw.edu.au. Then, click on the ‘Update Delivery’ button to set the email service you want to forward your email to.

If you need a guide on how to set your email client to read your CSE mail (Thunderbird, OS X Mail, iPhone, etc), you’ll find one here at the CSE faq.
