We have received reports of a message that claims to have suspended incoming emails for you and provides a link to retrieve them.

Do not click links in emails unless you are absolutely certain that they are not suspicious. The U of T email system will not suspend incoming messages and request that you click a link in order to recieve them. For more information about phishing and other security issues, see the Security Matters website.

The University of Toronto has moved to a full-service shared mailbox creation process. Faculty and staff will submit online requests for new shared mailboxes directly to the University’s Enterprise Service Centre (ESC), which will be processed by Information Technology Services (ITS). No additional setup is required by the requesting user, and the user will be notified once their new shared mailbox is ready.

See the article about Shared Mailbox creation for full details.
