When do we activate Mac Email?
I haven't activated Mac email and is feeling calm as a breeze...or not! 
So when should I activate it? Is it too early to activate it now or something?
Why do I ask this?
I actually tried to activate it a second ago on Mugsci. I went to "Undergraduate Email" -> Registered Users -> and typed in my MAC ID/password to log on but guess what...?!
It said: incorrect password or account name... |

Go to MUGSI and look for Enable Mac ID Services. After that it should work.

You have to activate and enable MacID services first, which you can do on MUGSI  |

There's a tab called Rules, and it has a box on it where you can enter a different email address and it forwards all the emails from there to a different email. That way you can just get them with the email you normally check.

There should be an inbox tab, though :S I'm not sure why you don't have it...are you just not looking in the right place? at the top of the screen (or near the top, anyways) there are a bunch of tabs, one of them should be 'inbox'.

Oh lol, sorry about the confusion! I meant to say that there are no emails on my Inbox!! Yikes, I didn't mean to confuse you there, I just read it again and I don't blame you for being confused!
So there is no EMAIL (not inbox!)...should this be a concern? Just had to rephrase my previous question now. =P |

Haha  There wouldn't be any emails in your inbox unless people have been emailing you, which isn't usually the case right now. I also remember that for the longest time, when I first got my email set up, you HAD to send the email to [email protected] r.ca for it to work. If you only did @mcmaster.ca, I wouldn't get the email. That fixed itself at some point, though I don't remember when. It was a while, though. |

So do I have to email [email protected] master.ca to get it working? Oh wait, they got it fixed hey? If I had to email...there would have been no way I would have figured that out!  |
