<p>students on campus, and perhaps alumni as well, will have noticed that as of today there is a new email service available at Cornell. it's in a partnership with Google, and it's called Cmail.</p>

<p>I think it's fantastic! I signed up as soon as I could. I was a bit sorry I had to choose a new password to go with my NetID, but I am so pleased once I've signed in. I have been using Gmail throughout high school so I'm very familiar with all the different actions. I am actually no longer forwarding from my cornell.edu account to Gmail, at least for now, because Cmail might be good enough for me!</p>

<p>and incoming freshmen, you will like this! having decent, non-annoying email that everyone just has forwarded somewhere else will be really good for Cornell! I think they should put in their viewbook I like it that much!</p>

<p>anyone else have any thoughts about this?</p>

<p>yeah i like it a lot too.</p>

<p>p.s. you can change your password back really quickly, if that were to be an issue - just saying.</p>

<p>oh yeah…good point about the password. duh!</p>

<p>I noticed that a lot of my contacts are showing up as being online in the chat thing. I immediately put myself as invisible because I knew about that function. I don’t want to end up conversing with people just because I send them emails…hopefully that doesn’t happen too often. I can see where it would be useful educationally though.</p>

<p>So what is the difference between CMail and GMail? Why not just have your Cornell mail forwarded to your GMail account? I have been doing that for over a year now, after abandoning Thunderbird and Microsoft Outlook.</p>

<p>well then you can send and receive from Cmail completely. and I am glad to start fresh with new tags that are only related to Cornell.</p>

<p>so when i signed up for Cmail, i put in my Yahoo email address as one of the addresses that I want my mail from Cmail to be forwarded to.</p>

<p>now how do i cancel that? i cant seem to find it. i dont want the emails forward to Yahoo anymore…</p>

<p>you go to “Who I Am” and that is where the list of emails to forward to is.
(there is a link to Who I Am on this page [CIT:</a> Student Email How to…](<a href=“Welcome | IT@Cornell”>Welcome | IT@Cornell))</p>

<p>hope that helps.</p>
