And lots of spam, too. I mean, the spamscreen works fine, but we do get a lot of spam.</p>
<p>Gmail has amazing spam filtering, as im' sure you all know.</p>
<p>im sure this has been asked before, but when do we MIT'10ers get instructions to sign up for an account? =P</p>
<p>You'll be sent information in early June -- I think it's in what Matt calls the "next big mailing" (NBM), so watch his blog for hints.</p>
<p>cool, thanks!</p>
<p>i guess college facebook has to wait =P</p>
<p>Haha, I was going to add "I KNOW you all just want facebook" but I thought maybe I was making too many assumptions. :)</p>
<p>yep, you need to have an email <a href="mailto:___@mit.edu">___@mit.edu</a> to join the facebook! .....can't wait to have one!</p>
<p>^can we "upgrade" our HS facebook to college?</p>
<p>No, you can't.</p>
<p>You gotta reinvite all your friends.</p>
<p>But, yes, it's facebook we all want.</p>
<p>nah they changed it like jus recently... go to ur "my account " and "network" settings. u can switch it over now i think =]</p>
<p>I received my big package today!!!</p>
<p>I registered (today at 2:30 pm) a Kerberos username and a password, waiting for its activation. My question is: when I start log in to my MIT email? Where's the log in page for MIT email?</p>
<p><a href="http://webmail.mit.edu%5B/url%5D">http://webmail.mit.edu</a></p>
<p>I'm not sure how long it takes to activate the email account; a friend of mine who's starting a biology PhD was able to log in the same day he registered.</p>
<p>I just log in to my email!</p>
<p>I used to use Hotmail/Yahoo. You know, you edit different color and symbols (like :) ;) :( ). I just wonder where can I do this in my MIT email?</p>
<p>also, how do you create link in the message without showing the actual address? How do you change the font and the type of words? I do you insert pictures in your message?</p>
<p>A current student informs me that there is a very good source of information for all-things-email at this URL:</p>
<p>web.mit.edu/ist/topics/email</p>
<p>That student also suggests you use the instructions there to learn to use a mail client other than webmail.</p>

<p>Were you able to login instantly??</p>
<p>I created my account around 6:00 PM, and I was advised to log in tomorrow!! Have I done something wrong??</p>
<p>I created mine in 2:30 pm (did not work instatntly), took a nap, woke up at 4:30 pm, and it worked!</p>
<p>My login took about 30 minutes to become active.</p>
