Missouri State University utilizes two separate email systems: Bearmail for faculty, staff, and student organizational mailboxes, and Microsoft Live@EDU for students.
BearMail for Faculty/Staff | Student Live@EDU Email
What’s Live@EDU?
Microsoft Live@EDU is the student email system used at Missouri State University. By moving our student email to a system hosted and run by Microsoft students gain a number of benefits:
- 25gb of storage space, compared to the 50mb they had previously
- Attachment size of 25mb
- Access to Microsoft Skydrive for file storage
- Access to Microsoft Office Online tools
- The ability to keep using the @live.missouristate.edu address after graduating
Missouri State’s Live@EDU email system for students can be access through the Missouri State portal at http://my.missouristate.edu.
Live@EDU addresses are for students only; for faculty and staff, we require the use of Missouri State BearMail to ensure proper backup and control of University-related communications.
