Windows mail app
This article describes how you can set up the Mail App for Windows as an e-mail client for RWTH e-mail.
Please note that Microsoft officially discontinued support for the Windows Mail app at the end of 2024, and the app is no longer available on newer versions of Windows.
On older versions of Windows, the app may still work under certain circumstances, but we cannot guarantee that it will continue to function smoothly in the long term.
Current versions of Windows offer the option to test the “new Outlook.” Unfortunately, it is not possible to integrate an RWTH email account into this application.
We recommend using Outlook 365.
The manual has been created on Windows 10 with Windows Mail version: 16005.14326.20970.0
