How to Access Your Mylife Email Account

Author Info

Last Updated: February 16, 2022

When you enroll to one of the academic courses/year offered in the University of South Africa, or UNISA, you’ll get a myLife email account for free, which you’ll need to receive news, updates, and important messages or announcements from the university. Though the account is free, some users are having a hard time finding out how to and where to open their email, but it’s actually easy to do—if you just know where to go.

Steps

Write down the email address that was issued to you after successfully registering to UNISA.
Double-click your preferred browser's shortcut icon found on your desktop to launch it.
Open this link (http://mylife.unisa.ac.za/mail) on the address bar of your web browser. The link will redirect you to the Microsoft Office 365 login page.

Type in your account details. Enter your myLife email address and password on the text fields provided.
- The myLife email can be accessed using the Office 365 webmail service.
Click the “Sign In” button after typing in your details to access your myLife email account. From here, you can now access your account’s inbox and other message folders.

I forgot my email address only remember the password. What can I do?

Community Answer

Just get a new email if you truly cannot remember. If you have notifications for that email, just sign up for some website and it should send it to you.

Tips

myLife is different from myUnisa. The former is the email service run by the university while the latter is the university’s online student portal. Avoid confusing one for the other.

If you’re having a hard time accessing your myLife email account, you can change its account option to forward all the messages it receives to another email account that’s easier for you to access.
