Email Overview
There are multiple email options for ICS staff, faculty, and grads.
- ICS Gmail is what the majority of ICS users utilize. It can be accessed at www.gmail.com with username@ics.uci.edu as the username and your ICS Gsuite password (which may be different than your ICS password). For setup information, visit set up ICS Gmail.
- UCI Gmail is provided by OIT and can be accessed at www.gmail.com. For more information, visit this page. Resource wise, it is virtually the same as ICS Gmail, except that this one is supported by OIT instead of ICS Computing Support.
- UCI IMAP is OIT's legacy email system and the default for new UCInetid accounts. It can be accessed via webmail.
- ICS IMAP is our legacy email system, which is currently used to access shared email accounts. For setup information, visit set up Thunderbird for ICS.
We forward ICS incoming email to a user's UCI inbox when a new ICS account is created (unless requested otherwise). Once you have chosen one of the above email services, make sure that you forward your incoming mail from other accounts to that inbox by following these steps.
