<p>Ive signed up for a cal mail account, but I can get it to log in, what is used as the user name? Im not sure what to put there.
Thanks</p>
<p>say you are collegebound09 @calmail.berkeley.edu</p>
<p>username = collegebound09</p>
<p>~I had major problems with my calmail too...so I feel your pain :)</p>
<p>What did you do to get it working? Ive called up there, but it has you leave a message and they never returned the call--that was over a week ago. Also, if there is an underscore in the user name do you include that ie: <a href="mailto:college_bound09@calmail.berkeley.edu">college_bound09@calmail.berkeley.edu</a></p>
<p>I would think so. The biggest problem I had is that I did not notice that my password was too long when I entered it in to create it. So it copied over the letters (ie: say password = 5 letters and I put "rabbit", the password saved as "rabbt") but when I entered it into the log-in it entered as "rabbi". I was getting pretty frustrated and about to call...but then I just changed my password to fit and it worked. I felt kind of silly...lol</p>
<p>By the way, you can e-mail; for example:</p>
<p>intead of <a href="mailto:berkeleyrocks@calmail.berkeley.edu">berkeleyrocks@calmail.berkeley.edu</a></p>
<p>you can use: <a href="mailto:berkeleyrocks@berkeley.edu">berkeleyrocks@berkeley.edu</a></p>
<p>Giminihop-thank you, i felt really dumb...that was the problem--the password was way to long. Its a good thing Im going to Berkeley, cause high school certainly hasnt taught me the basic essentials :)
Eiffel- Thanks, that makes it easier to tell people.</p>
<p>I am glad I could help!!! :) Like I said, it drove me insane for awhile as well...I even almost posted on CC...</p>
<p>hey question...
what's the alias account for?
and what is max capacity of the calmail account?</p>
<p>thanks in advance..</p>
<p>100 MB is max I believe.</p>
<p>Alias is basically a separate e-mail address tied in with your original mailbox.</p>
<p>eiffelguy, how do i get my address to be @berkeley.edu instead of @calmail.berkely.edu?</p>
<p>nevermind, i figured it out</p>
<p>For those others who have not figured it out:</p>
<p>When sending your mail, your address will read @calmail.berkeley.edu; however, when people send you stuff, they can e-mail to @berkeley.edu and it will make it to your mail box.</p>
<p>actually eiffelguy if u want it to read from: <a href="mailto:username@berkeley.edu">username@berkeley.edu</a>, click on options, under the heading "message composer", there is a text field where u can change the from address. it will say ur name and then: <a href="mailto:username@calmail.berkeley.edu">username@calmail.berkeley.edu</a> change it so it reads: <a href="mailto:username@berkeley.edu">username@berkeley.edu</a>. doing this, in any mail u send, the address will be from @berkeley.edu</p>
<p>i feel it looks much sexier :)</p>
<p>how do you make an alias/another account?</p>
<p>Darkhelmet: Hahahahah...after I posted that, I went back to check (because dinan... did it) and I found out how to do it...</p>
<p>nice, eiffelguy :)</p>
<p>kratos, to make an alias, click options, hit vactations/forward under the options tab, then sign in into the scrren that comes up, then there will be an option/link to setup an alias</p>
<p>conversly, on <a href="https://calmail.berkeley.edu/%5B/url%5D">https://calmail.berkeley.edu/</a>, under the username/password fields, hit manage your account, sign in, and then there will be a link to setup an alias</p>
