E-mail address
Each student is given three e-mail addresses. In quite rare cases, when an address containing a first and last name is already in use, it will not be given. The last form is always available.
Name.Surname@students.mimuw.edu.pl
N.Surname@students.mimuw.edu.pl
xy123456@students.mimuw.edu.pl
It is possible to obtain a custom e-mail address, the so-called alias. In this case, please contact us at lk@mimuw.edu.pl
.
Mail server and mailbox
The student mail server is students.mimuw.edu.pl

Note that the message content displayed in the mail program is actually a file that sits on the computer's disk. Message files count towards the disk limit allocated to the user, and if the home directory overflows, mail may not arrive!
