E-MAIL SERVICE
IBSAF offers a free webmail account to all alumni who register on the IBSAF website and desire the service.

Activity is defined as having logged into the webmail account within the past three months, having your IBSAF e-mail messages automatically forwarded to another e-mail account. If an alum does not meet one of these criteria, IBSAF reserves the right to deactivate the account. Before any action is taken the alum will be given a 30 days notice via e-mail to meet one of the stated requirements for maintaining an accessible account. If the alum does not show activity within those 30 days, the account may be deactivated and all e-mail, address book entries and personalization in the account will be lost. The e-mail account will be available to the alum for reactivation through IBSAF website, but deleted e-mail will not be able to be recovered. Even if the alum meets one of the activity requirements, the IBSAF reserves the right to discontinue alum’s email access if the alum uses the account in a way that is deemed inappropriate by IBSAF in it’s discretion. Such uses may include, by way of example but not limited to the ones referred to in Rules of Online Conduct. Additionally, the IBS/IBSAF reserves the right generally to terminate the free webmail service at its sole discretion.
