Mail Readers

We do not recommend any particular mail reader. Many are available on our computer systems, including Alpine, Mutt, and Thunderbird.

Stop Forwarding First

By default we forward your CS mail to username@uchicago.edu. If you would like to use the CS mail server directly please send us an email to stop the forwarding.
