<p>haha, silly question, but I just confirmed my decision online last night (and paid by credit card) and am very excited about having an @stanford.edu address. :) But how do I activate it? Will Stanford send a confirmation email or something?</p>

<p>Thanks! Can't wait to see you all at Stanford!!</p>

<p>it's already activated. your email address is "your SUnetid here"@stanford.edu.</p>

<p>then go to webmail.stanford.edu to check your mails.</p>

<p>and then join facebook.</p>

<p>and then go to stanford.</p>

<p>and then graduate.</p>

<p>and then go back to taiwan and lead an independence movement.</p>

<p>Good stuff</p>

<p>Haha thanks...:)</p>

5

<p>Independence movement............?</p>

<p>I, too, just confirmed my enrollment, but whenever I login to webmail.stanford.edu, then hit "webmail.stanford.edu", I get a "redirection limit exceeded" alert.</p>

7

<p>Hmm. Might be because Stanford's webmail server is being bombarded with a ton of redirection requests. Try setting up your Stanford webmail to work with a client like Thunderbird, it's far cleaner and easier anyway. Oh, and be sure to use IMAP, POP is uselsss.</p>

<p>Well, this is just a workaround though - I dislike e-mail clients, actually. I wonder if anyone else is getting the redirection limit alert.</p>

<p>I can't even get the page.. I just get a 404 after like 2 minutes.</p>

<p>I can't get MS Outlook to connect either. I tried the directions on the Stanford site.</p>

<p>Hmm. Did you make sure to indicate that you're connecting from off-campus/remote network?</p>

11

<p>I can just barely make it into Mobile Mail, and I confirmed my facebook network lol. But I still can't get into webmail.</p>

12

<p>how can i get my stanford mail forwarded to a gmail account?</p>

13

<p>Go to <a href="http://stanfordyou.stanford.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://stanfordyou.stanford.edu&lt;/a>
Click "Change settings for account 'X'"
Where it says "Forward email to another address", click "change..."</p>

<p>thanks :)</p>

<p>(btw- did anyone know that cc posts have to longer than 10 characters. i just found that out when i tried to reply with a simple 6 character "thanks" :p)</p>

<p>Yes - you can see that in this thread <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=269579%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=269579&lt;/a> where people had to come up with creative ways to get 10 characters :) (examples include spaces, periods, faces...)</p>
