If you have an Exchange account, you may add the account to Apple Mail or Microsoft Outlook. Please click one of the following articles for your operating system and email account type. This process will vary depending on what type of email you have with UMass. Add your student email account to Thunderbird Thunderbird can be downloaded and installed from Mozilla’s website here:Ģ. You will also need a non-UMass, personal email account such as a Gmail or Yahoo account. For the sake of this tutorial I will use Mozilla Thunderbird because it is both free and available for Mac OS and Windows, however if you prefer to use Apple Mail (which is pre-installed on any Mac) or Microsoft Outlook (available with many installations of Microsoft Office), those are perfectly fine as well. To back up your email, you will need a third party mail client such as Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail, or Microsoft Outlook. There is no official need to backup your email, however many students find it convenient to still have those messages saved after graduating. Although for most people this is a year after graduating in May, the actual timeline is one year after you are last enrolled in anything at UMass – for example, if you graduate but take one final summer class to finish your degree, your email will be deactivated one year after that summer course ends. All other services (wireless access, Moodle, etc) are deactivated six months after leaving the university.
Your student email is deactivated one year after you leave the university. For those of you graduating from UMass this spring, congratulations! It’s an exciting time to look ahead to the post-college life however, before you head off on your future endeavors, it might be a good idea to backup your student email before you leave.
