Email for students
With the uniACCOUNT, students are automatically assigned an e-mail address of the University of Graz. This e-mail address is intended to ensure the delivery of relevant study-related messages - regardless of quota restrictions or filter settings of various providers.

E-mail access
Webaccess is certainly the easiest way to receive and send emails via a browser. This access works on our PC workstations as well as on your personal devices. From off-campus, VPN and multi-factor authentication (MFA) are required for access!
Access via browser with webVPN
To access your mailbox from off-campus via webVPN, log in to the webVPN interface, open the ‘Web Applications’ menu on the left-hand side and navigate to the link ‘https://email.uni-graz.at’. You can then access your messages in this browser window.
Access via email client + VPN
You can access your mailbox from your workstation or smartphone using an email client (email app). From off-campus, you can check and send emails with an active VPN connection.
Forwarding
For students, the configuration of email-forwarding is available via UNIGRAZonline (application ‘Account status’ → Edit → Forward address). Please note that the email address must be entered correctly. There is no guarantee that forwarded messages will be delivered. The university does not provide support for forwarded emails.
I like webmail because ...
- ... I don't have to install a program for it.
"I can open it anywhere and I don't have to worry about any email settings". - ... I get all my university e-mails in this mailbox.
"I want to separate my private mails from my study mails. Webmail is perfect". - ... I can easily recognize phishing e-mails here.
"I see the link addresses and the senders, I can roughly judge if it's a phishing or a real email. You can't do that everywhere."
