ExchangeAccount

The Exchange account gives you access to the RU mailservice, with @ru.nl and/or @student.ru.nl email (RU Exchange Outlook Web App email) The corresponding email address is John.Smith@ru.nl or J.Smith@student.ru.nl. University mailings will use this address.

• Exchange account/mail-address: Givenname.Surname@ru.nl
• Web client: https://mail.ru.nl
• For instructions how to set up email or calendar clients please visit this page.
• Login name to use is either
  • your U-Account preceded with 'ru\' or
  • your Exchange email address eg. Givenname.Surname@ru.nl
• Password to use to authorize this exchange account : U-Account's password.

Your Exchange account gives you access to your:

• Exchange Mail
• Exchange Calendar

By default all mail to your Exchange account is forwarded to you Science Account, however you can still use the exchange calendar without any problems.

If you want to use Exchange Mail instead of Science Mail the "redirect" can be turned off by logging in to https://mail.ru.nl with your U-number preceded by "RU\" and your RU password. After that, you can remove the check box in "Options -> Create an Inbox Rule" at "redirect all incoming". Sending new Science mail to Exchange can be turned on by visiting the Do-It-Yourself Site and "forward" to the @ru.nl mail address. Note that if there is a redirect line in Exchange, Exchange will not forward mails with sender address the same as the forwarding address, in order to prevent mail loops.

Historical note:

• Starting August 1 2017, all FNWI employees who do not have an account yet in Exchange, the RU central mail and calendar, will get such an account and with that an extra mail address, of the form Givenname.Surname@ru.nl. For anyone who already has an Exchange account, with a mail address ending in e.g. @ru.nl @donders.ru.nl @fnwi.ru.nl, nothing changes.
