Synchronize emails from the Communigate
To facilitate the transition to the new email system, a virtual environment is available that can be used to transport existing emails. This (bwLehrpool) environment can be used in all computer pool rooms, but is also available via bwLehrpool-remote. The only difference between the two types is the type of login; after that, the procedure is the same.
You can use this virtual environment via bwLehrpool-remote online via browser as well as conveniently on site in the PC pools at Werthmannstraße 4, the computer center at Hermann-Herder-Straße 10 or the Freiburg University Library. If you have any questions or problems, please contact the student IT support in the Werthmannstraße 4 at 0761 / 203-4666 or beratung@rz.uni-freiburg.de; you can also contact us directly there; we will be happy to help you with the transfer. The Opening hours can be found here.
Please note that certain special characters in passwords can be problematic, especially with bwLehrpool-remote, as the correct character interpretation may depend on your own system / browser. For such cases, there is an on-screen keyboard at the bottom of the screen which appears when the script is started.
