Can I change the zXXXXXX@unsw.edu.au to 'first name'.'surname'@unsw.edu.au?

 

[Carrotsticks]

At USYD you can't, so I'm guessing the same for UNSW.

 

[Omnipotence]

damn

It mentions here that there is a firstname.lastname email address and you can choose , or can we not do that anymore?

When you click on the option to change, we receive an error:

I remember someone at usyd had an email in the format of their name.

 

[Carrotsticks]

I think only postgraduates get them.

You can (but I don't remember how, too bad page is down atm..)

You can set or change your email alias via the Identity Manager self-service site.

If you're a student (ie. enrolled), go to the UNSW IDM and you'll find that your "Additional Email Addresses" should be your firstname.lastname (and maybe a number) @ student.unsw.edu.au.

nevermind every student that enrolled at unsw gets 'first name'.'surname'@student.unsw.edu.au automatically.

edit: just checked

Nah, My sister is an undergraduate and she has her own name on her usyd email I'm pretty sure.

Call them up and ask them. We have a help desk there that sets it up.

Or, you can wait until O-Week and there's a whole stall in the library devoted to connecting your laptop/iPhone whatever to the university email system or wireless internet.

Spent a couple of hours playing with it this morning, finally got zMail working properly on my Mac and iPhone/iPad. Does anyone know if there's a way to have the sent-from address be your first.last@student.unsw.edu.au instead of z1234567@zmail.unsw.ed.au?

Please give instructions for the iphone.

1. Open Settings > Mail, contacts, calendars and hit 'Add Account', then Exchange.

2. Fill in both the email address AND username field with your address in the format: z1234567@zmail.unsw.edu.au

3. Your password is NOT your zpass. Go to zmail.unsw.edu.au/getpass and enter your zpass credentials to get a separate, auto generated password that works for Exchange/IMAP.

4. Put this new password in the password field, hit Next. It'll verify for a bit, then a server field will appear, filled in with 'pod51000.outlook.com'. Hit next again, it'll verify again, then everything will get ticks next to it!

5. Turn off calendars, contacts and reminders as they're not necessary (no, there isn't a global UNSW contacts system accessible through this as far as I can tell). Hit next/finish. You're done!

Of course, this works on the iPad as well.

Do you have one for exchange on outlook? (Mac)

Thanks.

Sorry, I don't have Office 11 so can't try it out -- but I can't imagine it'd be much different to set up.

I've found that if you fill in the email address field with your 'name' address (e.g. a.b.surname@student.unsw.edu.au) it will let you send emails from that address instead of the z1234567 one. The username field still needs to be as above.

If you're staff you get an firstinitial.lastname@unsw.edu.au address. I think mines going to expire soon though, bitches better renew it, thought it was for life
