If you are part of the Besançon Academy and are struggling to access your Convergence messaging, welcome to the club! Between forgotten credentials, connection bugs, and configurations to set up on your smartphone, it can quickly become hell. But don’t panic, I’m here to help you. In this article, we will see how to easily access your academic messaging, configure it on your phone or computer, and avoid the most common issues. I promise, by the end, you will be a Convergence messaging ninja.
What is Convergence messaging and why should you use it?
The Convergence messaging is the mail service dedicated to teachers, administrative staff, and students of the Besançon Academy. Its purpose? To enable secure and professional exchanges between colleagues, students, and administration. Gone are the days of emails sent from your old Hotmail address from 2005 (yes, we know you still use it).
With Convergence, you can:
- Send and receive professional emails without mixing them with your personal inbox
- Access your messages from any device
- Enjoy more storage space than a regular email box
- Secure your exchanges with encryption protocols
In short, it’s practical and essential. Now let’s see how to access it without pulling your hair out.
How to access the Convergence messaging of the Besançon Academy
Want to log in? Here are the super simple steps:
- Go to the official website of the Besançon Academy messaging (you can type “Messagerie Convergence Besançon” on Google).
- Enter your academic username and password.
- Click on “Login”.
If everything works on the first try, congratulations! But let’s be honest, there are often issues. Here are the frequent problems and how to solve them:
Problem 1: Incorrect username or password
- Check if you have Caps Lock activated or if your keyboard is set to AZERTY/QWERTY.
- If you are sure it’s the right password, try a reset via the “Forgot password” option.
Problem 2: Site inaccessible
- Try another browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge…).
- Clear your cache and delete cookies (those little files that store information about your browsing).
- Check if the site is temporarily down by asking a colleague.
Setting up Convergence messaging on your smartphone or computer
If you want to avoid opening your browser every time, you can set up your email directly on your smartphone or computer. Here’s how to do it.
Setup on computer (Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail)
You want to receive your emails directly on your PC? Follow these steps:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Incoming server (IMAP) | imap.ac-besancon.fr |
| Port | 993 (SSL) |
| Outgoing server (SMTP) | smtp.ac-besancon.fr |
| Port | 465 (SSL) |
| Username | Your academic address |
| Password | Your academic password |
In your preferred email client (Outlook, Thunderbird…), enter these values and voila, your emails will appear directly!
Setup on smartphone (Android and iPhone)
On your phone, go to Settings > Accounts > Add an account > Exchange (or IMAP if Exchange doesn’t work). Enter your credentials and use the same settings as above.
Frequent problems and solutions
You’ve set up your account but the emails aren’t synchronizing? Here are some tips:
- Android: Make sure that automatic sync is enabled in the settings of your account.
- iPhone: Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts > Fetch New Data, and enable the “Push” option.
- Still no emails? Try logging out and logging back in. It seems silly, but it often solves the problem.
Good practices to manage your messaging like a pro
Now that you are connected, let’s see how to prevent your inbox from becoming a battlefield:
- Sort your emails: use folders to separate urgent messages from general information.
- Enable automatic replies when you are on leave (so no one thinks you are ignoring them).
- Beware of spam and phishing: never click on a suspicious link, even if it seems to come from the academy.
- Use filtering rules: you can create rules to have certain emails go directly into the right folders.
Useful resources and contacts in case of trouble
If despite all this, your messaging is still acting up, here are some resources:
