Unimail

Unimail is your University email account and will be used to contact you.  Be sure to check it regularly so that you do not miss out on any important news or information.

Unimail is part of the University's email system so it gives you a professional email address to use, showing your status as a University of Derby student.

Your Unimail is a Microsoft email as it's part of your free Microsoft 365 account, so you get all of the great Outlook features, like a personal calendar to plan your activities, an integrated task manager and contacts.  Learn more at Microsoft's Outlook help and learning website.

Your Unimail is part of your free Microsoft 365 account which is the same as your Uni account login.

Your Unimail address is your student number followed by @unimail.derby.ac.uk

For example, 100123456@unimail.derby.ac.uk.  Your password is your regular Uni password.
