<p>I forgot what was the deal with the ucsd e-mail. Can you no longer use it after you graduate or no longer attend ucsd? If so, is it possible to redirect all email elsewhere or not if the ucsd account would be closed?</p>
<p>You can get it forwarded for a year-ish after you graduate, to an email address of your choosing. I did <a href=“mailto:sameusername@alumni.ucsd.edu”>sameusername@alumni.ucsd.edu</a>.</p>
<p>After this, you no longer have access to the account, and mail forwarding ceases to work. However, they don’t recycle the usernames like they used to*. I’m assuming if I ever go back to UCSD, they’ll return my original email address to me. </p>
<p><em>The person who held my email address before I did was a doctor or something; I used to get emails from his patients with some *very</em> personal info in them. But after I graduated, nobody else has been assigned my email address.</p>
