It may take a while before the new accounts are propogated to the mail servers at UNSW. I remember having a day or two delay when I enrolled before I could access my unimail.

i don't think you can use your email account until you enrol fully

actually i like my uni email thing that i had from uts cos it was a normal email name, which i can put on my CV..my hotmail one is irapegoats and i don't think i'd be getting many offers of work if i had that on my CV..

especially if you wanted a job with goats

The prospect of having @unsw.edu.au sounds good though, out of the ordinary @hotmail.com or @yahoo.com .

Just make sure you get yourself an alias at the disconnect website when it works. Otherwise you'll be using zXXXXXXXX@student.unsw.edu.au.

@unsw.edu.au is reserved for staff

do CSE students get webspace too? or do we have to ask for one?

I think CSE students get another address too
something@cse.unsw.edu.au ?

sunny - can u change alias'? coz the only one I can choose is j.minai@student.unsw.edu.au
if only i could get rid of the j. bit

 

[sunny]

Yep if you're CSE you'll get another login (your CSE login) which is your initials followed by some random number (I'm shnl327!). And thats @cse.unsw.edu.au

Depending on the number of COMP subjects you do, you'll get webspace automatically when your CSE account is created (about 12MB in first year, which is the max size of your account) and a printing quota.

minai - we can only change it around from the student number to some combination of our name, which really sucks

Theres a rumour I've heard for CSE that you can change your login name once though - not sure if thats true.

I know it is possible to change your name with CSE (I have a number of friends who've done it, although most of them are in the later years).

Minai - ask Disconnect. They will let you pick a different alias if it's reasonably easy to infer that it's you from the alias. I mean, obviously if you used a common first name then you wouldn't be able to. I think minai wouldn't be common enough to be protected, though.

Thanks i'll do that, maiyuran
