FAQ

Mail

I cannot access email

[If you usually use mailer (POP/IMAP)]

Please wait for a while, and then try again.
When you can not access to your account 1 hour after blocking, please contact us.

*For those who have recently changed your password*
For mailers that set the password in advance, please check the settings of your mailer after changing your password. When you change the JAIST account password and do not modify the mailer password, the mailer will continue to use the incorrect password (the password before the change), and email will not be able to be sent or received.

 

[If you usually use WebMail]

If you see the screen after lockout, please contact us.

If you are not using POP/IMAP, please consider disabling the POP/IMAP.
Reference: POP / IMAP disabled / enabled

If you fail to authenticate (JAIST-SSO) when accessing Webmail, please see the following page.
When login fails in JAIST-SSO

I want to switch the mail reception protocol from POP to IMAP and move the mail received thus far by POP to the IMAP mail server

The procedure is roughly as follows:

1. Create an account for new IMAP reception. (Please make it on the e-mail software you use when receiving with POP.)
* Even after changing the settings to stop the automatic mail reception by POP, some mail may still be received by the POP by mail server. So let's enable "Leave copy of mail on server" setting so that mail will stay in the server.


2. Create a new folder in the earlier created account (= make it on the mail server).

3. Copy the mail received by POP to the created folder.

4. When copying of all the mails is completed, delete the POP setting.
