Mail system
Modeemi membership includes an e-mail address in format username@modeemi.fi, and 1GB space for your messages (hopefully soon we increase that limit). Name.Surname@modeemi.fi alias is available upon request, and it is possible to use it as well during email submission. You can receive and send email with mail client of your choice - Thunderbird, or simply Gmail app for android.
Important notice! changes of IMAP and Submission server from 3.3.2026
On 3.03.2026 at 18:00 of local time, IMAP mail server will be moved from modeemi.modeemi.fi, to newly created wave.modeemi.fi. Mail sent to @modeemi.fi and @modeemi.cs.tut.fi, between 18:00 and 18:30 may be delayed. Another important change, is finally discontinuing of procmail as our mail delivery agent! If You used custom configuration of procmail for You mail delivery, You should prepare the rules written in Sieve, and properly include them inside Your home directory.
