Staff and Faculty
Staff and faculty are eligible for the following services:
- Exchange/Outlook mailbox (1 GB)
- Access to the Bulk E-mail System. Request access to the bulk e-mail system by contacting our Service Desk. This system is not available to students, but student organizations may request assistance via the Office of Student Life.
When you apply for an Email (Outlook Exchange) account we need to know your UT-EID, your University Mailbox address (UMBS) -- name@mail.utexas.edu, and if you wish to have a Cockrell School of Engineering Exchange mailbox for access via Outlook. If you do not have a UT-EID, then we need the contact information for a Cockrell School of Engineering sponsor (faculty or staff) and purpose for your account.
For staff and faculty who will be using their Engineering mailbox as their primary mailbox, the following configuration is highly recommended:
- Advertise your UMBS email address
- Forward your email from UMBS to your Engineering address (name@engr.utexas.edu). This allows you to take advantage of features such as spam filtering on the UMBS system. To forward your e-mail, provide the forwarding address in the UMBS management page.
- Contact us (service.desk@engr.utexas.edu), and we will set your “reply-to” address on the Engineering mailbox to your UMBS address, so that sent messages will appear to come from your advertised address.
Note: When your Exchange mailbox is setup a UMBS address is not required, but it is highly recommended.
Student Organizations
Student Organizations also are eligible for a Cockrell School of Engineering Mailbox. With an organization mailbox, you can get:
- Exchange/Outlook mailbox (250 MB)
- 250 MB personal mailbox and calendar space
- Vanity mailbox, e.g., SEC@engr.utexas.edu
