Email Classic

Email Classic allows you to read and send emails as well as to manage your contacts via “Roundcube” (i.e. a webmail application used at WU). In the Controlpanel application your current email address is displayed: > My email > Email Info. In addition, you can set up out-of-office notifications there.

Important

The service Email Classic will be discontinued.

  • Starting October 5, 2026, you will only be able to access your emails from inside the WU network. If you are not connected to the Wi-Fi or LAN at Campus WU, you will need an active VPN connection.

  • As of November 30, 2026, Email Classic will no longer be available.

You can migrate your current mailbox in the Controlpanel application.

Recommendation: If you are currently using complex folder structures in your mailbox, please contact IT Support in writing, to make sure the migration goes smoothly.
