<p>Do they let you choose your your own email address, or do they assign you one?</p>
<p>Also, are you able to forward all your ucdavis email to another email account such as Gmail?</p>
<p>They don't let you choose, but they do let you forward.</p>
<p>yes you get to choose your own email</p>
<p>Man what the hell, I've been trying for 2 days now, and I still can't login to my UC Davis email account. I already have my login id and password.</p>
<p>I keep getting this message: </p>
<p>Lookup of your pop host failed. You may have entered an incorrect loginid. You can always enter loginid@hostname to bypass automatic hostname lookups. Your loginid:</p>
<p>Is this the correct site?</p>
<p><a href="https://geckomail.ucdavis.edu/index.php%5B/url%5D">https://geckomail.ucdavis.edu/index.php</a></p>
<p>Ok, now I got it to work, but my email is not <a href="mailto:_@ucdavis.edu">_@ucdavis.edu</a></p>
<p>Instead, it is <a href="mailto:_@azure.ucdavis.edu">_@azure.ucdavis.edu</a></p>
<p>To test my uc davis email account, i used Gmail and sent an email to my uc davis email. When I sent an email to <strong><em>@ucdavis.edu, it did not work. But when I sent an email to </em></strong><a href="mailto:@azure.ucdavis.edu">_@azure.ucdavis.edu</a>, it worked.</p>
<p>I can login to my uc davis email account only if I enter azure.ucdavis.edu. I can also read and compose messages in there too, so everything is normal.</p>
<p>However, as I understand it, everything is supposed to work with JUST the ucdavis.edu</p>
<p>I have no idea why my account works only when I have the "azure" part in front of my email address. What's going on? How can I get rid of it?</p>
<p>call tech. they are very helpful.</p>
<p>Finally working, it just takes them a few days to put me into their database system.</p>
