About Gmail
Gmail is the email service used at UCD for staff and students, as part of the Google Workspace suite of applications. It is a secure service and offers integrations with Google Calendar and Google Drive.
Gmail is a completely web-based email service, meaning you log in using a browser window and not an email client.
UCD staff and students; you may log into your Gmail account once you receive your UCD Connect account details. Staff emails are on the @ucd.ie domain while the UCD student email domain is @ucdconnect.ie.
You can use Gmail from your computer or phone.
- Log into Gmail for Staff/Students directly from (opens in a new window)UCD Connect in your browser.
- A Gmail app is available for both (opens in a new window)Android and (opens in a new window)iOS devices.
Personalise your Gmail
In Gmail, you can personalise the look and feel of your inbox. You can change the background, add a reading pane and even set up different inboxes, all from your Gmail settings. You can also choose to display your Google Chat beside your email.
Use labels to organise your emails
In Gmail, folders are known as labels. Labels are like folders, but you can apply several labels to an email, then later find the email by clicking any of its labels from the left panel. You can also search by label, and use filters to categorise certain email types with labels.
