Questions about mcgill.ca
McGill University email questions, answered from this data
Every answer comes from the numbers on this page, 90 days to November 6, 2026.
What email domain does McGill University use?

What is the most common mcgill.ca email format?
[email protected]: 85–99% (95% range 74–100%) of the 60+ distinct mcgill.ca addresses mailfloss verified in the 90 days to November 6, 2026.
Is mcgill.ca a catch-all domain?
No. In mailfloss's checks (latest October 27, 2026), mcgill.ca mostly rejected addresses that do not exist, so it is not a catch-all domain. Because mcgill.ca mostly rejects mailboxes that do not exist, a permanent (5xx) "mailbox does not exist" or "account disabled" answer from it is reliable, and those addresses can come off your list; a 4xx answer is temporary, so retry it. An accepted answer is strong but not certain evidence that the mailbox exists. A full inbox or a busy mailbox is temporary, so recheck those later.
Do mcgill.ca addresses bounce?
Of mailfloss's mcgill.ca verifications in the 90 days to November 6, 2026, 86–94% were accepted, 6–9% got no clear answer and 1–4% were rejected.
How do I find or check an email address at mcgill.ca?
Build it from the person's name in the most common format, [email protected], then verify it before you send: mailfloss asks the mcgill.ca mail server about that exact address and reports what it answered. Because mcgill.ca is not a catch-all domain, a clear answer means what it says. Verify one now.
Does McGill University use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365?
Microsoft 365, the mailbox provider on mailfloss's record. Its published MX record points there too, going by its public mail records as of November 2, 2026, with no security gateway in front of it.
