Your.Name@ua.eduE-mail addresses can be kind of cryptic. Students' accounts on campus systems usually have numbers at the end, and it is hard to remember which e-mail systems use first initials and which just use last names, or how much of the last names are included. The last thing you want is to miss an important e-mail message because the sender was confused about your address. A simple answer to this problem is to use an e-mail alias. This address should be easy for your correspondents to remember, and they won't have to know which department you're in or how that network is set up. All they'll need to know is your first name, your last name, and that you're with the University. (In case of duplicates, your alias may have to use your middle initial or name as well.) To get your e-mail alias, get an account on bama.ua.edu. If you want, you can use this account for all of your e-mail; it is very flexible and can be accessed using a mail program like Netscape Messenger or Microsoft Outlook. You can also use BamaMail with your bama account to read and send e-mail from a Web page. No matter where you are, as long as you can find a computer connected to the Internet, you can check your mail. This can be particularly useful if you travel a lot. However, if you don't want to change mail systems just to use your new e-mail alias, you don't have to. Simply forward your bama.ua.edu mail to your existing e-mail account. You can then tell people to send mail to your firstname.lastname@ua.edu e-mail address and receive it just like all of your other mail. To get a bama.ua.edu account:
