UVa Exchange Service
The UVa Centralized Exchange Service (accessible through an email program on your computer or Outlook Web Access from anywhere) integrates UVa’s centralized calendar with email, mobile devices, and SharePoint.

The Central Mail Service (accessible through an email program on your computer or CMS WebMail from anywhere), provides basic email without a calendar.

While ITC recommends choosing between Exchange and the Central Mail Service, you may opt to have accounts on both. But then you will have to read email in 2 places.

UVa Exchange Service is not offered to alumni, and is available to students only in special situations. CMS accounts are not available for students or alumni. UVa Exchange Service requires an Eservices Exchange account.
