Accessing FASmail Online
FASmail can be accessed via a web app. It incorporates all the major features of the FASmail service and can be accessed from any computer, any location, and at any time. However, the web app is only useful for temporary access since it will log you out after a period of time. If you regularly access your FASmail account, it would be best to set up your account onto an email application.
Setting Up FASmail on Your Computer
Arts ISIT can help with FASmail setup on your computers or mobile devices. Alternatively, you may follow existing documentation from UBC IT (UBC Faculty and Staff E-mail – FasMail) or see our guides below on how to complete setup yourself.
The following guides will show you how to access your FASmail accounts on the web application.
