<p>Well, the new emails are up, but is there a way to change my email address they assigned to me? I changed my name a long time ago, but the email address still uses the old one. I guess it's not that big of a deal, but I prefer the other name.</p>
<p>While we are on the subject of the email addresses, can anyone actually log into their account? I am not able to.</p>
<p>I can’t log on. I don’t know if our accounts have been activated yet.</p>
<p>I can’t log on either.</p>
<p>i cant log in either :/</p>
<p>No, you get assigned an email and that’s that. Sorry! :/</p>
<p>you have the option of making an alias, which is like a new one-way email address – so people can use that alias to send you mail, but it’ll land in your “real” mailbox and you can only reply using your “real” username.</p>
<p>ie, john smith is assigned <a href=“mailto:jsmith@ucsd.edu”>jsmith@ucsd.edu</a> but can obtain the alias <a href=“mailto:john@ucsd.edu”>john@ucsd.edu</a><a href=“assuming%20nobody%20else%20has%20stolen%20it”>/email</a> – his friends can email him with <a href=“mailto:john@ucsd.edu”>john@ucsd.edu</a> but they’ll only receive replies from <a href=“mailto:jsmith@ucsd.edu”>jsmith@ucsd.edu</a>.</p>
<p>that said, just do the cool thing and forward all your mail to gmail. it’ll save you a lot of time in 4-5 years when you actually DO graduate and have to go through your inbox and manually forward all the important messages you want to keep. another alternative is outlook/outlookexpress/thunderbird/etc but those are generally hosted on the computer. IF ucsd was wading in oodles of cash then they’d upgrade everyone to exchange accounts, which combines the convenience of internet-based mail with the permanence/storage capacities of computer-based mail programs.</p>
<p>wow, that was long. guess i like email. :)</p>
<p>^Oooh that’s cool I didn’t know you could do that!</p>
<p>I can log-in and you all can too. You have to change your ACS password cuz your Tritonlink password does not work in the ACS. However, you will be able to log-in but not see anything because UCSD has not created our inboxes and sent folders yet.</p>
<p>I created a new password, but every time I try to login, an error page appears. ):</p>
<p>you need to wait 30mins for the pw to take effect >.<</p>
<p>I have the error page too. I change my pw more than one hour but still have the error page.</p>
<p>wait so, instead of gmail, can I forward all emails to hotmail?</p>
<p>^^^Certainly!!!</p>
<p>astrina’s got the right idea! Acs-webmail is just waaaay too clunky for my own tastes.</p>
<p>Is there a way to set up automatic forwarding?</p>
<p>Check through the settings of the email address that you want emails forwarded to.</p>
<p>How do you send up the acs account so that it forwards to gmail?</p>
<p>Go to MyTritonLink>addresses>campus email address>forward your email, then follow the directions.</p>
<p>the easier way to forward your email to gmail is sign into your gmail account, go to “settings” in the top right corner.</p>
<p>click on “accounts”. under “Get mail from other accounts” click on “add a mail account you own”, and just follow the directions.</p>
