Although all students receive a Mason MEMO email account, many students
prefer to use an email
account through their own Internet Service Provider and do not receive
mail sent to them
through their Mason account. This makes it more difficult for
the University to share important information with all students.
To help solve the problem of multiple email accounts, students can configure
their Mason MEMO account to
automatically forward all received messages to a specified email address.
**********************************************************
1. Log into your MEMO email account by going to http://mail.gmu.edu.
2. After logging in, click on OPTIONS and select SETTINGS from
the list of available options.
3. Enter the e-mail address (or addresses) you would like to
have your MEMO email forwarded
to. If you have multiple addresses you would like to forward mail to,
enter each address on a
separate line.
4. Click on SAVE CHANGES button at the bottom right
All new mail {addressed to you at GMU}will now go to your MEMO account
inbox
and be forwarded to the address or addresses you have specified.
Note that MEMO will still keep a copy of each forwarded message.
You may want to periodically
check your MEMO account and delete the copies of forwarded messages
to ensure that you do not
go over your quota. If you do go over your quota, the system
will no longer be able to forward
your email.
*************************************************************
If students have not yet activated their MEMO account, they need to
go to the activation page
at https://maria.gmu.edu/e-mail
and follow the directions there. This will give students their
MEMO login ID and password.
Further information about the MEMO email system is available at
http://www.gmu.edu/email.
We hope this information is helpful to you. You or your students can
call the ITU Support
Center at 993-8870 if you need assistance in setting up or configuring
your MEMO acccount.
