<p>hey kids,
the princeton directory's been updated with 2011 netIDs. just head on over to <a href="http://www.princeton.edu%5B/url%5D">www.princeton.edu</a>, type in your name (or part of it) into the search field, check Princeton People, and you'll be able to see your email address.</p>
<p>kind of lame, but hey. thought some of you might want to know.</p>
<p>is our email address final? first initial + last name @princeton.edu?</p>
<p>thanks for telling us, quirkily, but someone beat you to it. a very smart young lady on the pton '11 fb group discovered the search thing and told us about it.
it's not lame, it's actually kind of (sadly) exciting!</p>
<p>We can't actually log in until we get the mailing with our initial password right?</p>
<p>btlesgirl, not everyone on CC is in the facebook group so some people may not have known. But yeah, they're final (unless it's an extreme circumstance I think?) and we can't log in until the next mailing. WHERE IS IT?! :(</p>
<p>I don't know about EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES but the email is certainly not final, else I won't be a happy email providee. The link is <a href="http://helpdesk.princeton.edu/kb/display.plx?ID=4450%5B/url%5D">http://helpdesk.princeton.edu/kb/display.plx?ID=4450</a> . I personally don't think it can really be all that bad as they say.</p>
<p>You can change your email ID if you have good reason. My daughter changed hers two years ago because as it was constructed it looked like someone else's name. She changed hers to be her three initials.</p>
<p>Anyone gotten the login information yet in the mail? I haven't yet...</p>

<p>I got mine today too, all the way in Texas!!
Excitingggg.
Are ya'll keeping the email addresses you have or changing them? Mine right now is just my last name, no first initial or anything, but when I went for April Hosting my host's email address was just her first name (it was a kind of unusual first name). I'm assuming she requested that change...are any of you thinking about changing yours? My last name is just really hard to spell and I foresee difficulty in that, that's probably a hugely petty concern, but I'm just thinking about it.</p>
<p>I'm definitely going to need to change mine, as well as some other documentation I think... the directory has me listed as "First name Middle Initial Last Name", but I go by my middle name and so prefer "First Initial Middle Name Last Name". Since my netID is currently "FirstInitialLastName" that'll need to be changed as well.</p>
<p>cool so you can all now access the webpage with all the course reviews written by students?</p>
<p>Got mine yesterday in NYC...but maybe that's old news. </p>
<p>Also, would a current Princeton student or a computer whiz possibly be willing to explain how to set up the Princeton email address in another Mail service (like Mail on a Mac, or Thunderbird, or something?) Or just a link would be fine if there are already instructions like that somewhere else...</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
