NYU E-mail is now powered by Google. Your best resource for any questions you may have about NYU E-mail (as well as NYU Calendar and other NYU Google Apps for Education) is the NYU Google Apps website.
Many have found that using a browser to access their NYU E-mail is more versatile and easier to configure than a desktop e-mail program. If you wish to continue using an e-mail program (such as Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, etc.) on your desktop computer or you'd like to set up a mobile device to access your e-mail, you will need to follow a set of instructions; see the E-mail Program Configurations page for details.

About E-mail at NYU
ITS provides e-mail service to NYU faculty and staff members, and students in degree or diploma programs, both in the United States and overseas. For information on policies relating to e-mail at NYU, visit the ITS Policies page of this website.
NYUHome and NYU-NET
E-mail can be read via a web browser at http://email.nyu.edu, through NYUHome or by using a desktop e-mail client such as Thunderbird, Apple Mail, or Outlook.
Many have found that using the new web interface to access their NYU E-mail is more versatile than using a desktop e-mail program. As a bonus, the web interface doesn't require you to follow any configuration instructions. We encourage you to try it for two weeks; you may just never go back to your e-mail program!
If you do wish to continue using an e-mail program (such as Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, etc.) on your desktop computer or you'd like to set up a mobile device to access your e-mail, you will need to follow a set of configuration instructions. Please visit the the E-mail Program Configurations page for step-by-step guides.
NYUHome E-mail Addresses & Aliases
The format of your official NYU e-mail address is YourNetID@nyu.edu (e.g., aqe123@nyu.edu), but you may also set up a personal e-mail address of your own choosing through NYUHome. Instructions for configuring this personal address are available at www.nyu.edu/its/email/address.
E-mail aliases are also available for NYU departments. A departmental alias is set up in the format: school or division abbreviation.department name@nyu.edu (e.g., AskITS@nyu.edu). The departmental alias points mail sent to the alias, an individual's e-mail address, or to those of a group of individuals. It can also send mail to an NYU List. For guidelines and to request a departmental alias, follow the instructions in the NYU Web Guide.
Basic Configuration Information
If you use the web interface to access NYU E-mail, you don't need to configure anything. If you wish to use an e-mail program like Outlook or Thunderbird, or a mobile device to access you e-mail, see the E-mail Program Configurations page on the NYU Google Apps website for step-by-step instructions.
NYU E-mail Direct
NYU E-mail Direct is a bulk e-mail service through which pre-authorized NYU faculty, staff, and administrators can request to send an e-mail message to a segment or segments of the University community or to the entire University community. For more information, visit the NYU E-mail Direct page of this website.
