How to set up your email client

Here, you will find guides that will help you to start using your AU email address regardless of your chosen email program and setup.

If you do not wish to use Outlook or AppleMail, please use the following information:

  • Username and password: Your mitstudie.au.dk username and password
  • Incoming server: post.au.dk
  • Protocol: IMAP

I have forgotten my password to post.au.dk, what do I do?

Access your mailbox in post.au.dk with your username and password to mitstudie.au.dk (Self-service). If you have forgotten your password, please go to https://adgang.au.dk/en 

If you are unable to access your AU email and have not linked a private email address to your au email, you can go to mit.au.dk and log in with WAYF and NemID to change your password.

Can I get another email address?

On mit.au.dk (Self-service) and E-mail addresses you can find your email addresses:

  • studentID@post.au.dk
  • firstname.(middlename.)lastname@post.au.dk

Go to Create alias to change your email name (before @). All former email alias will be deleted in order to others to be able to use them.

What is the size of my mailbox?

You have unlimited space in your mailbox. However, there is a limit of 50 MB when you attach files.

Please be aware that some types of files (e.g. images) take up more space when they are attached so the practical limit is 40-45 MB.

 

What happens to my email when I no longer study at AU?

  • Your mail account will be closed when you are no longer a student at Aarhus University. The closure will take place at the same time as the closure of other IT accesses; this will happen within 3 months after you are no longer registered as a student.
