After the account migration, the current e-mail addresses will continue to work, only for receiving messages. All e-mail sending will now assume the national e-mail sender "@ucp.pt".

Only upon the successful reception and use of your new Unique Digital Identity will the conditions be met to start the migration process of your e-mail account. The migration will be preceded by three e-mail messages from the UCP Cloud Service (ucpcs@ucppt.onmicrosoft.com). The day before the migration, you will receive a warning e-mail, a few hours later, you will receive a second e-mail with the reinforcement of the indications you must have executed to ensure that you have access to your Unique Digital Identity and with the necessary instructions to access your new e-mail account. Finally, on the day of the migration you will receive a third and final e-mail to reinforce that the migration process will take place on the same day and remind you of all the steps announced in the previous e-mails.

In the case of users of the Porto campus, the new e-mail account "@ucp.pt" will be assigned. In this new account the current e-mail addresses will continue to work to receive messages.

To access the new e-mail account "@ucp.pt", you must use the Unique Digital Identity.
