<p>what is Cornell postoffice acount? it gives me the option to have my mail sent there, the option to not have it sent to my <a href="mailto:NETid@Cornell.edu">NETid@Cornell.edu</a>, or the option to send it to several places. What should i do and what do they all mean?</p>
<p>so...you can access your Cornell e-mail via <a href="http://www.webmail.cornell.edu%5B/url%5D">www.webmail.cornell.edu</a> or via uportal.cornell.edu. The post office is the server your mail is stored on....I think.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>If you choose to have your e-mail sent to the postoffice...you have to use the methods I mentioned above to access your mail.</p></li>
<li><p>You can choose to have your mail addressed to your NetID sent to another account...i.e. to gmail</p></li>
<li><p>Also...you can download their mail client and your e-mail can be downloaded to your desktop....super convenient. I use my Mac mail client to get my email.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Do you get to choose your email address or are they assigned to you? I feel like the ones I've seen are really ugly, like just your initials and a number after that shows how many people had the same initials before you. I guess that means that they are assigned to you?</p>
<p>yes...your NetID is assigned to you using your initials and the #</p>
<p>Do you know if my NetID will be the same as my applicant ID?</p>
<p>So I enrolled at Cornell a few days ago and I was wondering when/how do I set up my email id?</p>
<p>And also, I sent the enrollement/admission coupon and deposit via the mail (I believe there wasn't an online way to enroll..was there?) and I was wondering when I would receive confirmation that they received my deposit and acceptance?</p>
<p>Should I call on Monday?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>44100Hertz: I heard somewhere that your NetID is the same as your app ID (the part w/ the initials)</p>
