Google Mail

Google Mail is the preferred email system at Stony Brook University for faculty, staff, and students on West Campus, Southampton, Manhattan, and select departments within the Health Sciences Center.

Members of Stony Brook Medicine, including Stony Brook Hospital and the School of Dental Medicine, will continue to use Microsoft Exchange for email due to HIPAA compliance requirements.

About Google Mail

Unlimited Storage

Unlimited storage means no need to delete large emails. You can send, receive, and download attachments up to 25MB (larger files will have to be shared via Drive).

Powerful Search

Search your email the same way you’d search Google. Also try the powerful Keyboard Shortcuts.

Organization

Use Gmail’s organizational tools (such as labels) to take control of your communications. You can even fetch email from a personal account to your SBU account

Confidential Mode

Gmail now has Confidential Mode, which helps protect sensitive information from unauthorized access. Confidential mode allows you to

  • Set an expiration date for email messages
  • Revoke recipients' access at any time
  • Help prevent accidental sharing of the body of emails

Note: Confidential messages don't have the buttons to forward, copy, download, or print the email body, but confidential mode doesn't prevent recipients from taking screenshots or photos of your messages or attachments or maliciously downloading them.
