Roundcube Webmail
- • Since the current iloha Webmail system is overly simplistic,Roundcube Webmail has been introduced to replace the current system and improve the webmail system's functionality. Roundcube provides new functions, such as a multi-language interface, a richtext/html mail editor, and drag and drop mail management. On January 4, 2016, the system went live and was publicly tested with faculty and staff email (mx), and unit email (my). Student emails are gradually being brought online, as shown in the list below:
- Faculty and Staff:https://mx-mail.nthu.edu.tw/
- Units: https://my-mail.nthu.edu.tw/
