Email Services
CUIT provides email service to the Columbia University community of students, faculty and staff. The service includes automatic backups of mail stored on our servers, support for secure protocols for sending and retrieving mail, and extensive spam-filtering.
CUIT has three mail systems: CubMail, a free system for students, faculty and staff, a fee-based Microsoft Exchange mail system used mainly by administrative staff, and LionMail, Columbia’s new email system powered by Google.
In the spring of 2012, CUIT started moving student email gradually from the Cyrus/Cubmail system to LionMail. All current undergraduate students from CC, SEAS, and GS will be moved to LionMail by the end of 2012, but in the interim, some will still be using CubMail. All Fall 2012 incoming undergraduates will have LionMail accounts.
