Slut med post.au.dk: AU-studerende får Outlook og Teams fra maj
Til maj flytter alle studerendes mail fra det nuværende system post.au.dk til Microsofts’ Outlook, hvilket blandt andet giver adgang til Microsoft Teams.
The new Outlook mailbox will be ready for use as early as the beginning of May, but until then, you must continue to use your post.au email, AU writes in a short news release.
According to Anna Bak Maigaard, Deputy Director for AU Student Administration and chair of the steering committee responsible for the implementation of Microsoft 365 for students, the change is much needed.
"The students get a more up-to-date email with a calendar, and we can phase out post.au.dk, which is outdated. Students and lecturers have long wanted a system with better opportunities for digital collaboration in teaching. "They will now, when students gain access to Teams," she says in a written response to Omnibus, where she also elaborates on the opportunities that access to Teams provides:
"In Teams, students can easily share files, co-edit documents, communicate via chat and hold video meetings - both with their fellow students, lecturers and external partners such as places of internships," says Anna Bak Maigaard.
The same email address
Even though it's a new platform, your email address will remain the same and you can still access your emails via MitStudie. In addition, all your old emails from post.au.dk will be transferred to Outlook automatically.
Therefore, you don't need to do anything in connection with the transfer unless your mailbox contains too many emails that need to be cleared out. If so, you will be contacted by AU.
During March and April, there will be more information about the transition and an introduction to how to access your new email, according to the news release from AU.
