sdfsdf Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Hi All, Regarding email accounts - once one graduates from Toronto, is there an email-forwarding function for future emails? How long is this available for? Could we still send out emails from that address? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long is this available for? Could we still send out emails from that address? Thanks If I recall correctly, when I finished my undergrad, they sent me an email saying that I can have an email with the extension "myname.alumni.utoronto.ca", which is a gmail-based service. I don't know if the same applies to medical students, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if the same applies to medical students, though. i emailed the IT people and they said yes u lose ur utoronto.ca account and it becomes alumni.utoronto.ca... unless u do residency in toronto. they are also migrating people to mail.utoronto.ca... med students getting this first.. but personally i think this is a nightmare cuz i had everything subscribed to utoronto.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryptic.living Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 doctor2, you can just change your utormail settings to forward it to the new account. Personally, I am ecstatic about the 10 GB space that will mean that I have to stop obsessively cleaning my inbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdfsdf Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 i emailed the IT people and they said yes u lose ur utoronto.ca account and it becomes alumni.utoronto.ca... unless u do residency in toronto. probably means that once you're done residency, it become alumni.utoronto.ca.... they are also migrating people to mail.utoronto.ca... med students getting this first.. but personally i think this is a nightmare cuz i had everything subscribed to utoronto.ca so there isn't any utoronto.ca anymore and it'll be straight-up mail.utoronto.ca this coming sept? And when they make the changes, all our utoronto stuff won't go directly to your mail.utoronto.ca and you have to notify everyone individually? HUGE hassle imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when they make the changes, all our utoronto stuff won't go directly to your mail.utoronto.ca and you have to notify everyone individually? HUGE hassle imo Yeah... What he/she said above me. Just forward utoronto.ca to mail.utoronto.ca... not really the chaos you're making it out to be. imo @utoronto.ca is a much "neater" email but... we'll survive.

doctor2 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 there is an option to forward utor mail to mail.utor...not sure why anyone would think otherwise, they plainly tell us this yah they did, but how long will they keep the @utoronto address - ie. down the road they will, maybe in a few months, inactivate the @utoronto address...i can't imagine IT letting you keep 2 address indefinitely.. anyways here's what they said I asked: "Will it be an abrupt discontinuation [of utoronto.ca email address]?" They said: " No, advance notice will be provided before UTORmail is shut down. Don't quote me on this, but it will probably be around a 3 month notice. This is why administrators recommend that you have your contacts utilize your @mail.utoronto.ca address as soon as possible. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
