General information
Several mail clients offer to create Exchange mailboxes directly. Your Exchange mailbox can be integrated into your mail client under the server name: groupware.htw-dresden.de. Please note, that the HTW Dresden does not support the POP3 protocol.
The login to the Exchange mailbox is the HTW login and the suitable password. For students the HTW login hat the form: sxxxxx, xxxxx = library number. You can read off your e-mail address after logging in to the Outlook Web App (OWA) by clicking on your possibly schematic avatar in the top right corner.
Employees of the HTW Dresden are recommended to use Microsoft Outlook as mail client on the workstation. Please contact your supervisor before setting up your mailbox in private email clients and/or on private computers/mobile devices to comply with privacy regulations.
