<p>My friends created my logon id and thus my email address without me knowing about it...does anyone have any idea how to change it?</p>
<p>i'd like to know this too</p>
<p>I think since the person needed your app id, bday and all those stuff to even get there the system believed he is you, so I guess the best bet would to just ask your friend?</p>
<p>you cant. you can create an alias though i think.</p>
<p>theres absolutely no way? what if your email address is <a href="mailto:uclasux@ucla.edu">uclasux@ucla.edu</a>?</p>
<p>well then sux 4 u.</p>
<p>once you make your UCLA ID and password (which is also your UCLA email) you CANNOT change it. Sorry folks.</p>
<p>...that's why they give you all those warnings about it...
some friend of yours ;)</p>
<p>so what did your friend make for you? :D</p>
<p>lol nice friends you have... I heard you can forward all the emails to other email accounts so just put yours on there and don't go on the UCLA.edu ones...</p>
<p>you can setup an alias for your email. you can only set it up once, and it requires a dot somewhere in the name.</p>
<p>I had the same problem. I created my logon id without thinking about it and didn't want it to become my email. i just created an alias on the website, which automatically forwards your email to your regular account. you can only create this once as well though, so be careful.</p>
<p>If you set up an alias, does your original e-mail still show up if you e-mail a professor or something? (That's why I want to set up an alias for mine, I picked something cutesy but now I regret it.)</p>
<p>well theres nothing saying that you HAVE to use your ucla.edu address to email anyone. i've set my gmail as the default email in ursa (so all school notices/announcements go to my gmail) and i email professors and TA's from my gmail.</p>
<p>the only thing you need the ucla.edu name for is logging into stuff (ie wireless network, URSA, My UCLA, etc).</p>
<p>^ Okay, I just now submitted my SIR so I see what you mean... thanks</p>
