How to set up an email account?

<p>Carnegie is a bit late with sending housing and email info to students who got in from the priority waitlist. I was emailed this link:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.cmu.edu/computing/documentation/index_andrew.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.cmu.edu/computing/documentation/index_andrew.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>But the instructions that it gives lead me to a page where I need to have my CMU user ID and password. Am I missing something, or do they send you your unique user ID with the letter?</p>

<p>look up your email (user ID) in the directory.. it's usually first letter of your first name then last name.. but anyways, the password is your first 8 digits of your SS# </p>

<p>you can access email at <a href="http://my.cmu.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://my.cmu.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>you should join facebook too...</p>

<p>To get in the directory, I need my user ID and password. Is there any way to get around this?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>BTW, the first letter of my first name then last name for the ID with the first 8 digits of my SS as the password is not working.</p>

<p>really? on <a href="http://www.cmu.edu/directory%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.cmu.edu/directory&lt;/a> it doesn't ask for any sort of log-in info... hmm.</p>

<p>If you still can't get it, you may post your name and we can find out for you....</p>

<p>Yay. I logged into it for the first time today and found 550 emails waiting for me... spam... tastey. So, I highly doubt I'm ever going to use that email address...</p>
