<p>How can I obtain an RPI email account? I am transferring to spring semester, and I just picked up my Rensselaer Computing System (RCS) user ID which would allow me to "gain access to Rensselaer computersystems and my RPI email account". does this mean I will be given an email shortly after? or should I already have one that I can get access to now?</p>
<p>Assuming you’ve also been given a password, you can log in to your email at <a href=“https://webmail.rpi.edu%5B/url%5D”>https://webmail.rpi.edu</a> . If you want to set up a client (such as thunderbird, outlook, etc.), you can connect via smtp to mail.rpi.edu (using the same username and password).</p>
