Page History

At the McCombs Online Resources (MOR) website, logon with your EID. Go to the UTMail tab and either confirm that the way you name is displayed is how you want your name to appear or else update your name preferences (see above for an example screenshot).

At the UTMail web site you will log on with your EID and create an account. You will be given an opportunity to select your own @utexas.edu address and set a password for your UTMail account. You can then check that account with what email application you prefer that works with Gmail.

You will only need to return to http://utmail.utexas.edu if you need to reset your UTmail password or if you want to change your UTmail address or display name. If you need assistance setting up your UTmail account, please click the support link on that page which will take you to http://www.utexas.edu/its/help/utmail.

Once you specify your name preferences and claim your UTmail account, it will take up to three business days before the McCombs lifetime address is added to your account.If you have not completed BOTH steps one and two above, the lifetime McCombs address will NOT be added to your UTMail account.

Once the address has been added, you will see it listed in the Accounts tab under Settings. All emails sent to the addresses listed on your Accounts page will be delivered directly to this UTmail mailbox. You do not need to do anything else for your lifetime email to begin working, however, you may optionally customize the send-as, reply-to or forwarding settings for your account (see the next two sections regarding these options)

Because your McCombs address actually appears on your account, you can use it ways not normally available on typical Gmail accounts.

• You can select one of your addresses to be the default address when you send new email from your UTmail account.
• You can edit the address to change what display name shows up in emails you send using that address.
• You can configure the default address to use when replying to messages to default to one particular address, or you can configure UTmail to default to the address the original message was sent to you as. 
• Regardless of what email address you set as your default Send-As or Reply-To, when you send a new message you will have a drop down list in the From field that will let you select any of the addresses listed on your Accounts page.
  
  NOTE: You can also use the page to set up send-as for any other external email address you control, including an older McCombs lifetime address. To do so, click the "Add another address you own" link. The main differences are that you cannot make these other addressees default send-as addresses or configure auto-reply to use them, and the words "sent on behalf of" will appear in the From field when you send as these external addresses.

If you do not want to actually use UTmail to check emails sent o your main UTmail address or your secondary McCombs address, you can configure forwarding as with normal Gmail accounts. To configure Forwarding, just go to the Forwarding and Pop/IMAP tab in your settings.

• Click the button to "Add a forwarding address" to specify what address you want to forward to.
• You can then with simply forward all email that comes into your UTmail account to forward to that address, and optionally choose to keep a copy of it first
• Or you can click the "create a filter" rule to forward certain email messages to one address and other incoming emails to another address
• The forwarding rules you create can be as simple or complex as you want them to be. If you need help, please refer to Help listed under "Settings"
