View mailbox statistics; change and update settings for your mailbox, such as the display name and primary and secondary email addresses (aka Aliases)

In the Office365.austin.utexas.edu Management console, under "My services", users will have a "My Account" section.

*Users will not have the other two tabs: My Users and User Lookup. These tabs are for Mailbox Managers.*

Update Mailbox Display Name

On the My Services page, click the My Account pane if it is not already open.

Enter your desired display name in the Display Name box.

Click Save.

Hide or Unhide Mailbox from Exchange Address Lists

A mailbox hidden from Exchange address lists will not appear when other Exchange users search for the mailbox address or display name.

On the My Services page, click the My Account pane if it is not already open.

If the checkbox next to Mailbox hidden from Exchange address lists is unchecked, check it to hide the mailbox. If the checkbox is already checked, uncheck it to show the mailbox again in the Exchange lists.

The information updates automatically when the checkbox value is changed.

Update Primary Email Address

The primary email address may be changed only when the mailbox has more than one address associated with it. See Add Secondary Email Address(es) below for details on creating multiple addresses.

On the My Services page, click the My Account pane if it is not already open.

Unlock the Primary mail address for edits by clicking the lock icon beneath it. The lock icon will change to check mark.

Select another address from the dropdown menu.

Click Save.

Add Secondary Email Address(es)

If the address entered is already in use, the application will provide a warning message and will not add it.
