School email enforcement

It seems that our faculty started using and enforcing of using a school email. Specifically an M$ Outlook email. You can see how to login and what email you've in the image bellow.

Note: If you don't use the school email, nothing will happen to you, however it seems that any bulk emails from professors are enforced to be sent to your faculty email so its good to at least setup forwarding.

Under this are some useful instructions in no particular order.

forwarding

  • settings on the top right (settings icon) -> forwarding -> enable -> youremailborec07@yourmum.com

  • if this doesn't work for some reason (for some people it didn't)

    • use custom rule as in this immage:

      forwarding

Thunderbird

seems to work out of the box

smtp instructions

s: smtp-mail.outlook.com

username as login@cuni.cz

password the same as to sis

There is a petition in the works to try and stop this

  • more info will be in the thread hopefully soon

TLDR: Login to your faculty outlook email and setup forwarding. (test that it works.)
