Email, Faculty/Staff [APP Glance]

UNIX Email (WebMail, PINE): yournetid@albany.edu or unixalias@albany.edu

Faculty and staff can have email access by using their NetID through the UNIX cluster. Activate your UNIX account first (see Faculty Accounts). If you use a UNIX-based mailer such as WebMail or PINE, your email address will be your netid@albany.edu.

Your Exchange/Outlook Mail email address: exchangealias@uamail.albany.edu

Faculty/staff members have access to an Exchange/Outlook email account, which also includes a calendar and contacts. You must first have a Windows Network Access Account and request an Exchange Account. An alias is automatically established.
