<p>I just got my net id and noticed my cornell email is <a href="mailto:that@cornell.edu">that@cornell.edu</a>. Is it possible to make a cornell email with my full name in it, instead of 3 letters and 2 numbers?</p>
<p>No, everyone’s (even professors’) email address is <a href=“mailto:netID@cornell.edu”>netID@cornell.edu</a>.</p>
<p>can you add an alias email address so that even though people emailed <a href=“mailto:johndoe@cornell.edu”>johndoe@cornell.edu</a> it shows up in <a href=“mailto:jd25@cornell.edu”>jd25@cornell.edu</a>?</p>
<p>I have never seen a student have anything besides a <a href=“mailto:netid@cornell.edu”>netid@cornell.edu</a> style email address. I have seen profs and postdocs who have personalized email addresses, although even in that crowd it’s quite rare. given that there’s no information about it readily available online, I would guess it’s not possible to get one as a student. if you want to be sure you should contact CIT and I’m sure they will clarify one way or the other, since it’s a pretty straightforward question.</p>
<p>it would probably be more hassle than it’s worth, really, given that everyone in every context is going to expect that your email is <a href=“mailto:netid@cornell.edu”>netid@cornell.edu</a>. when you send the email, your first and last name will appear in the display name, so it will be very clear to anyone who you are.</p>
