<p>I was lucky in that "first initial" + "last name" fit exactly into the allotted space :D</p>
<p>The i3 CD that came in the package was pretty funny. I definitely got a better taste of each house from that CD than from the accompanying booklet.</p>
<p>Both my first and last names are seven letters long, sooo "first initial" + "last name" (what I chose) could have worked or "first name" + "last initial".</p>
<p>first initial + last name is probably the best option.</p>
<p>I dunno what you're thinking about, but this is the email you're gonna be giving at every interview you do in college. It's almost your first impression with a lot of people....do you want it to be "ZergMan"?</p>
<p>Anyone know the page to login once you've made an account? I can't find it...</p>
<p>webmail.mit.edu</p>
<p>Last name alone is great if available. Shorter is good (mine is 4 letters).
You can always set up a list with another name for yourself and use it as an e-mail address, but this will always be your login.</p>
<p>wondering if any of you smart people can help me... i had an old Kerberos account reactivated, but now I can only send but not receive e-mails on MIT WebMail. The problem might have something to do with the quota, but the bounced back e-mails say that they can't find a mailbox linked to my account or something like that. I e-mailed the <a href="mailto:computing-help@mit.edu">computing-help@mit.edu</a> people but they're slow to respond. Any idea?</p>
<p>How did you get a reactivated kerberos account??</p>
<p>I attended a summer program and received the account, but it deactivated in january so I e-mailed the <a href="mailto:accounts@mit.edu">accounts@mit.edu</a> people (lol) and they reactivated it for me.</p>
<p>I doubt it would have to do with the quota -- the quota's pretty large, and you'd be able to see in Webmail if you were anywhere near it.</p>
<p>I don't really have anything to offer, but presumably the computing people will know what to do.</p>
<p>My first initial + last name spells out a new word that, when pronounced the way I think it will, sounds questionable. :(</p>
<p>mollieb, I'm a position that allows me to be able to configure my name so that it will have the same rhyme scheme as the one you use! I'm trying to decide whether or not to use it, though, since it would promote an improper pronounciation of my last name! :D</p>
<p>But the rhyme makes it a good nickname. :D</p>
<p>I just wonder what my friends are going to do in September, when I change my last name and am no longer mollieb. (Well, that will still be my email. Just not my actual name.) And molliew just doesn't sound right.</p>
<p>You could make like Marilyn vos Savant and not only keep your maiden name but also have it passed down through the female generations. :)</p>
<p>River Phoenix: what do you mean by list? how do I set one up?</p>
<p>How do I view my sent emails? I set up my mit email account but I'm having trouble finding the emails I've sent. I've tried looking at my "Folders" but can't find it...</p>
<p>Are you using Webmail? Webmail does not automatically keep sent mail. You could set up some filters to catch them.</p>
<p>You can either click the "Save a copy in..." button before sending an email, or download a mail program from [url=<a href="http://web.mit.edu/software/%5DMIT">http://web.mit.edu/software/]MIT</a> Software Distribution<a href="for%20which%20you%20will%20need%20%5Burl=http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/certificates/%5Dcertificates%5B/url%5D">/url</a>.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies! </p>
<p>@pebbles: Yes, i am using webmail. I'll try and work out those filters. Are there other MIT email services?</p>
<p>@molliebatmit: I tried the "Save a copy in.." But the only folders that are available to save it in are Spamscreen and webmail-drafts. Which mail program do you recommend?</p>
