Alumni E-mail - Frequently Asked Questions Why must my mail account be moved to a different server? The Information Technology department is providing a dedicated server to meet our alumni’s e-mail needs because of software (GroupWise) licensing regulations. When will my e-mail account be changed to the alumni server?  Your GroupWise e-mail will be available through June 9. You will receive e-mail notification to your GroupWise account, prior to June 9, informing you of when your Alumni Mail account will be activated. How do I change my password?  After you login to your alumni account click on the Personal Account Option drop down menu and select Change Password. Will I still continue to get e-mail addressed to me at my "albion.edu" address that I have now? Absolutely! There will be no interruption in your e-mail service when the change occurs. Will my existing GroupWise e-mail, address books, appointments, etc., be transferred to the new server?  No. The new mail server will be a completely different system than GroupWise, which means transferring GroupWise data isn't possible. However, you can save GroupWise e-mail to your hard drive or removable disk and you will have a personal address book on AlumniMail where you can add addresses you want to keep. Will I need special software to access my e-mail once it is moved to the new server? No special software will be required.  You will be able to check your e-mail on the Web. Can I use e-mail software like Netscape Mail or Outlook Express with my AlumniMail account? Certainly! Click here for instructions on setting up e-mail software to work with AlumniMail.
