Also, it usually takes them some time to get the email accounts running for first years after MAC IDs have been set up.

Yep, you must enable your MacID services to get access to your email. But you can only do that after your register for your course through SOLAR.

Or so I've heard..

[email protected]

OR

[email protected] er.ca

Both work, although I just use the @mcmaster.ca because it's shorter.

Also, for logging into your email, you can go to http://muss.cis.mcmaster.ca

Thanks! I saw the second one you mentionned, but wasn't too sure. Thanks a lot. Also, since i can't log in, is it because of the registration process being incomplete as of now?

Did you enable your MacID services?

Edit: If you did, it probably takes a while. I remember having to wait until I could access my e-mail. Once you do have access, you can forward everything to your personal account. If you use gmail you can also make it so you can send e-mails from your McMaster account via gmail. Very convenient. I never log into my McMaster e-mail (I also disabled saving e-mails in my McMaster account so it never gets full).

Have you enabled your MacID services on MUGSI?

Yeah, then you'll just have to wait. I remember it took some time.

You'll have to wait until you register and sign your payment agreement (I did the research on this a while ago).

If you've payed your fees and registered for courses, give it a few days.

Yeah I was just going to say, I think you have to wait until all the payment agreement stuff is done, then you will get access to your email.

There are a few of us (over in the SOLAR thread) who have registered, and confirmed our payment agreement, who are not able to enable our Mac ID services. http://www.macinsiders.com/showthrea...6 9#post57369

Apparently we just have to wait a while, and then if we are still having problems, we need to contact someone.
