ITS provides students, faculty, and staff with a UM-Dearborn mail account that can be accessed from anywhere using a standard web browser and your unqname and password.
Mail Address
Your offical UM-Dearborn mail address is (uniqname)@umd.umich.edu. This address is used by schools and departments to send you important information. You are responsible for reading official notifications that come to your mail account from the University. Even if you use another mail account, check this one regularly! You can forward University mail to a personal mail account. For instructions, check out forwarding your mail.
You can search for other UMD addresses using the online directory. You can also get address information for faculty, staff and students at the Ann Arbor and Flint campuses by using the University of Michigan Online Directory.
Mailbox Storage
UM-Dearborn provides extensive storage for your messages and attachments. In addition, new mail features are being implemented so that you can easily check the size of your mailbox and see the percentage remaining in your quota. But it is still important for you to regularly clear out unwanted messages.
Students – You can use up to 2 gigs for storing your mail and attachments. That will let you keep thousands of messages and documents.
Employees – You have 10 Gigs available for storing mail messages and large file attachments.
Empty Your Trash
Most of us delete many unwanted messages every day. In most applications, those are simply moved from your Inbox to your Trash folder, where they pile up until you “empty” the trash. If you don’t clear them out, they can accumulate until they fill your mailbox quota. Don’t use your Trash folder as a filing cabinet for messages you want to keep. In fact, many mail programs will automatically empty Trash folders, which might cause some unwanted results.
