Email issues?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>okay guys, I need help.
I know there’s a “Support” button, and I did write to the IT guys, but I’m getting a bit too frustrated…</p>

<p>K, so I set up my @college account and @fas.harvard account, and I can log into both accounts just fine.</p>

<p>But the @college account is working VERY weirdly…

  1. I tried sending a new e-mail from my Gmail and my Hotmail account to my @college account. So… it took a while, but it now says “Inbox (3).” But when I try to check the actual e-mail by clicking on “Check Mail” tab or the “Inbox (3)” tab, it says “This folder has no mesages.” …Although it is clear that I do have messages to check.
  2. I tried composing a new email from the @college account to my external email: the one to my Gmail took a few minutes but arrived, but the one to my Hotmail never got through. </p>

<p>As for the @fas.harvard.edu account…

  1. as you have noted, I can send emails from it just fine, and it even goes through to my Hotmail account!
  2. but when I try to send emails from Gmail or Hotmail to @fas.harvard, I think it goes straight into the @college account, as the “Inbox (#)” in my @college account rose to “Inbox(5)” after a few seconds I sent the emails.</p>

<p>But anyway… this is getting really frustrating!!! Does anyone know what I can do about my @college account?? What is the point of having an e-mail address if I can’t receive emails through it?</p>

<p>I keep getting someone else’s e-mail! It’s directed to a harvard e-mail address that has the same first three letters as mine… Pretty sad.</p>

<p>lol, my email issue is that I’m now somehow on Leverett’s open list.</p>

<p>Which means my email is getting spammed by stuff that’s entirely not applicable to me. </p>

<p>Oh Harvard-mail.</p>

<p>You can cancel your membership in the list. There should be directions in the emails you get.</p>

<p>mm, I haven’t checked my mail yet ever since I set up it. I probably should some time.</p>
