Checking Your UCSD Email from the Web

Configure your email client to check your UCSD email account using the steps below. This will affect only the computer you are using.

• Verify that your Internet connection works.
• Know your Active Directory (AD) username and password.
  • Your username is usually the first part of your email address (e.g. username@ucsd.edu).
  • If you forget your password, change it.
• Follow directions for configuring your account. You will need to know your operating system (Windows or Mac) and email client.
  Note: Be sure to set your preferences to have messages remain on the server.
• When you complete the directions, you'll see your messages in the email client format.
• To check e-mail from this computer in the future, connect to the Internet and open your email client.
• To connect securely from a remote location, see Connecting to the UCSD Network from Off Campus.

Check your UCSD email securely from home or a public computer:

• Open your Web browser and go to UCSD Web Access.
  • The interface works best in modern browsers.
• Enter your AD username and password and click Log on to see your email.
  • Your username is usually the first part of your email address (before the @ symbol).
  • If you forget your password, change it.
• If you use an email server other than mail.ucsd.edu, contact your system administrator or the ITS Service Desk for instructions.
