Configuring your student email account is a three step process.  By following these instructions your account should be configured quickly and correctly.  You can configure your account from any computer with Internet access.  Instructions are also included to configure your personal computer to receive email in MS-Outlook Express.

STEP 1:
Begin by identifying your user ID and password. Your user ID is composed of the first 16 characters of your first and last name.  If there are duplicates (another student has your same first name and last name), then your user ID is composed of the first 15 characters of your first and last name immediately followed by a number.
 
Example1:  Suzy Day would have an id of suzyday
Example2:  Christopher Jabberwocky would have an id of christopherjabbe
Example3:  If there is more than one person named Suzy Day, then one of them will have an ID
  of suzyday, another will have ID suzyday2, another will have ID suzyday3, etc.
Example4:  If there is more than one person named Christopher Jabberwocky, then one of them
  will have an ID of christopherjabbe, another will have ID christopherjabb2, another
  will have ID christopherjabb3, etc.
