When off-campus you can still use the UiB mail servers for deliveries, but to avoid that our computers are misused for spamming etc, authentication is required.

This receipt will explain how to set up your mail klient to access the UiB server even when you are filtered by a firewall commonly used at airports, hotels or at other institutions' campus networks.

Please choose language, and the type of mail client used.
