RWTH-E-Mail

 

The service "RWTH-E-Mail" is a supervised IT service of the IT Center, which supports the cross-organizational communication at RWTH Aachen University and FH Aachen University. For security reasons, incoming mail traffic is checked for viruses (malicious code) and SPAM. Outgoing mail traffic, on the other hand, is only checked for viruses.

The service includes the provision of e-mail functionality, calendar and appointment management functions, the routing of e-mail traffic to the institution's own e-mail systems, and appropriate anti-spam and anti-virus measures. In addition, deleted items (e.g., emails) from the mailbox over the last 28 days are retained.
