Due to the 15 recipient limit for each email, it can be tricky to send an email to a large group of people using Barnard webmail. This limit was set to prevent spamming, but we know that some students need to send mass emails for classes or student groups. If you need to send an email to more than 15 students, you'll need to set up an email client, such as Thunderbird, where there's no recipient limit. To learn more about setting up Thunderbird, check out our Thunderbird Setup Page.
Students who want to email their whole class on a regular basis may also want to ask their professors to set up a Group of all the students in the class on Courseworks. They can contact the Help Desk if they need more information on how to do this.
If you have any questions about setting up Thunderbird, other clients, or about sending mass emails using Barnard webmail, please contact us.
A security modification will be made soon to the Barnard email system that requires some Barnard faculty, staff, and students to make a change to their email program in order to be able to send email using their Barnard email account. You only need to make a change if you are using an email client, like outlook or applemail, to send your mail. You can find instructions on the change on our site. Please remember that this is not important if you use webmail to send your emails. Please Contact us with any questions.
