Deactivation of e-mail and KTH account for employees
After you quit at KTH, your e-mail and KTH account will be deactivated. Here, you can read more about what it means.
KTH accounts and KTH emails are for students and employees at KTH, and therefore, the services are deactivated when you quit at KTH. This means that when you leave KTH, you will not be able to log in to your KTH account, and the email address linked to the account will stop working. Anyone sending emails to the address will receive an error message saying that the address does not exist.
If there are files, e-mails or other information on the account that you want to keep, you will have to move or copy them to another location yourself. It will not be possible to retrieve them after deactivation of your KTH account.
Move e-mail between different accounts
If you need a KTH account due to ongoing work at or with KTH, contact your responsible manager/equivalent, who will assess and decide if there is a need for an extension of your KTH account.
Deactivation of e-mail is based on a decision made by KTH's President from 2019. Read the President’s Decision (only available in Swedish): Beslut Deaktivering av e-post när anknytning upphör.pdf (pdf 1.1 MB)
