Group Mail
Shared (multi-user) Mailboxes
In addition to email accounts for individuals at the University, the VUmail system supports multi-user mailboxes for groups of users like academic or administrative departments or student organizations.
Each multi-user mailbox has a list of users who are allowed access. Users on the list can have different permissions -- some users may only be able to read mail in the mailbox, while other users may have permission to modify and delete messages in the mailbox.
Multi-user mailboxes on the VUmail system can only be accessed by users with a VUnetID and an email client that uses the IMAP4 protocol (e.g., Mulberry, Eudora, Mircrosoft Outlook, and Thunderbird).
Any of the VUnet Services Administrators (VSAs) for your school or administrative unit can set up a multi-user mailbox. If you do not know who your VSAs are, you can use the VSA finder or call ITS at (34)3-9999 for a referral.
