VT Email

There are currently 3 different email providers at VT

VT Google Apps

Address: PID@vt.edu

Everyone with a VT PID has a VT Google Apps account. This is the most common denominator for VT email.

Email can be accessed through the web interface, or by configuring a desktop client via IMAP.

Exchange (Soon to be Office365)

Address: PID@exchange.vt.edu.

Exchange is F/S only, though students can be sponsored for an exchange account.

The most common Exchange scenario involves email from VT Google Apps (PID@vt.edu) being forwarded to the Exchange account (PID@exchange.vt.edu). This does not include emails flagged as spam (see below)

Exchange Local (ITAR)

Address: PID@exchange.vt.edu.

If you are on an ITAR related project, email sent to PID@vt.edu does NOT get sent to VT Google Apps, and instead everything goes directly to PID@exchange.vt.edu. There is no spam filtering in this situation, be prepared to deal with a lot of spam.
