FAQ
- Who does this apply too?
Anyone that has an active CS Mail account. If you do not have, or do not use, a @cs.uoregon.edu email account this does not affect you. Anyone that is actively using their @cs.uroegon.edu email account will need to take action.
- How does this actually affect me?
Starting May 5th, 2026 the CS Email system will no longer receive or send messages. You must start using your UO Mail as your primary, and only, email account.
- What if my system or application is using the SMTP server mail.cs.uoregon.edu?
If it is hosted on campus you can easily switch it over to smtp.uoregon.edu port 25, no authentication, and use any email address to send as. If it is hosted off campus you will need to work with Information Services to send through UO Mail.
- Can I continue to use my current email client?
You can continue to use Email clients that supports MS modern auth, such as Outlook, Mac Mail, Thunderbird and a few others. You will ned to reconfigure them to connect to your UO mail. In fact if you have both accounts in the same application it will help with migrations.
If you are using text based clients such as RMAIL, Fetchmail, Emacs these will not be supported. There are a few text based applications such as Alpine that can be configured for UO Mail. Please reach out as soon as possible to get assistance.
- What if I use the Web Interface?
While https://mail.cs.uoregon.edu/mail/ will remain active and avialable, no new emails will be delivered there. You will need to log into https://uomail.uoregon.edu/ to send and receive.
- Does this affect my, or my students, IX accounts?
No, this change will not affect any other CS service. Your CS account will still work for IX and we can still provision students for class IX dev environment.
- What about sponsored CS Email accounts?
The current sponsored email accounts will be setup with a forward to their choice of emails. No more sponsered CS Emails will be created. For Sponsored emails they will need to get provisioned with UO sponsored accounts.
