Gmail sends a confirmation message to your FA.ULisboa address. Open it in Webmail and click the link (or enter the code in Gmail). You can then choose your FA.ULisboa address in the “From” field when writing a message.
Read FA.ULisboa account emails in Gmail
In 2026 Gmail stopped importing mail from other accounts (“Check mail from other accounts”, POP3), so the old setup no longer works.
On your phone, you can add your FA.ULisboa account to the Gmail app (Add another account › Other) as an IMAP account, with the parameters above: incoming server mail.fa.ulisboa.pt and outgoing server smtp.fa.ulisboa.pt. On a computer, use Webmail or an email program with the same parameters.
Advantages of using the FA.ULisboa email
- Official identification as a member of the academic community;
- Faster exchange of messages within the academic community;
- Guarantee of not having the email listed on spam lists;
- Inclusion in mailing lists: students, faculty, staff, bodies, courses, classes, etc.
