1. For official matters, please use only your Zedat email address.

"For official matters, the e-mail address of Freie Universität Berlin must be used for electronic communication, both as a receiving address and as a sender address. The automatic forwarding of e-mails received at the business e-mail address to mail systems that are not operated by Freie Universität Berlin is not permitted.."
(see IT security policy from 04.04.2019 - Part III, 8.7, M60)

 

2. Please let us know who you are (Signature text).

E-mails in business communication should contain information about the sender.
They should therefore contain at least the following information:

- full name
- business address
- membership of a working group, if applicable
- availability by phone (phone number)
- business email address (Zedat)

In common mail clients such as Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail, there is a "signature" or "signature text" function for this purpose. This allows the sender information to be automatically appended to each new or forwarded mail.
