UNC Email

Home :: Orientation :: UNC Email

As a UNC student, you will receive a free UNC email account. The UNC email address begins with your ONYEN ID and ends with "@email.unc.edu". For example, if Jane Doe's ONYEN is jdoe, her UNC email address would be: jdoe@email.unc.edu

Your UNC email account is the only one that faculty will access.

You can get a UNC email account by applying for an ONYEN. Visit the ONYEN site for more information.

Accessing Your UNC Email

You can access your email via Webmail:

http://webmail.unc.edu

There are also specific programs called email clients that allow you to check your email. One such program, called Mulberry, can be downloaded at the UNC Shareware Distribution Web site. Other common email programs are Outlook and Mozilla email.

Forwarding UNC Email

You can forward all email from your UNC account to another mail account you have by going to the ONYEN Homepage and clicking on the Forward Email button about halfway down the page. Please note that some Internet service providers block email forwarding from Blackboard, and, if you use a mailbox with a space limit, larger PowerPoint files could fill your mailbox and prevent you from receiving messages.

Email Aliases

You can also create an alternative email address (alias) for your UNC
account. You create the first part of an alias and the ending is shortened to "@unc.edu". Click here to access a document that contains instructions for creating an alias.
