<p>did anyone have trouble logging in to your email account? I’ve used the correct username and password, but I’m still not allowed to log in. Do I need to download a particular version of Outlook, or does it have something to do with cookies? any suggestions would be great. thanks!</p>
<p>Here's what stumped me last year. If your name is John Smith, then your email is <a href="mailto:John_Smith@brown.edu">John_Smith@brown.edu</a>, but when you log in, you type "jsmith" as your username. Hope that helps!</p>
<p>are you trying this on email.brown.edu that's where i go to check my e-mail.</p>
<p>yep, sure am! and I'm using username ala "jsmith"...if there's nothing else left to try, i think ill just go the good ol route of calling the cis help desk. thanks for your suggestions!</p>
<p>just called today...fyi..usernames, depending on whether you used a full name to apply to brown, sometimes include your middle initial as well.</p>
<p>I'm still stumped... I can't quite figure out how to get my mail to Outlook!</p>
<p>Sort of off topic, but I hiiiiighly recommend getting all your mail forwarded to a Gmail account. That's what I did. My top 3 reasons why:</p>
<p>1) Gmail keeps all your conversations grouped together, so you can easily reference them. This is very handy because you WILL be emailing a lot for your extracurriculars, professor communications, etc etc. </p>
<p>2) Brown gives you about 2MB of space. Maybe 20MB. Idk. Something minisclue. Gmail gives me 2756MB and counting...</p>
<p>3) There's an easy thing Gmail has that lets you send outgoing mail from another address. Basically, if I'm ever contacting someone and I want the email to say "@brown.edu", I click one thing and I'm done.</p>
<p>If you need an invite, let me know: <a href="mailto:AdamHRobbins@gmail.com">AdamHRobbins@gmail.com</a></p>
<p>i think brown gives you 50mb, still much smaller than gmail, but its pretty manageable</p>
