sinthusized, if what maren3614 works (I don't think it will, as I think I tried that back in the day and it didn't work), then yay.

If not, call the main McMaster number (905-525-9140), hit 0 to get patched into an operator, and then ask for UTS (University Technology Services). They are the ones who do all the MAC ID stuff, so they should be able to help.

So I have completed SOLAR and my payment agreement but I still can't access my e-mail. Do I use my MacID or my e-mail address?

when on the MUSS page, your supposed to use you macID as your login.

Im trying to join the macfacebook network but the conformation email wont come to my inbox. Are there any security features I have to diable for this to work?

it still says my account name or password is incorrect but I know I have them right what should I do?

i had the same problem but i logged onto mugsi then clicked on "Enable your MAC ID Services" on the side, and it worked!

omgggggggg
so everytime i click 'enable your macid services' it says "you are not eligible for macid services"... it's been over 24 hrs!!! and now i just clicked it again and it said " Your session time limit has expired OR you have used an unsupported browser activity" wtffff is going on

1) Go to MUGSI
2) Click the Enabled Your Mac ID Services" link on the right side
3) Try going into MUSS Mail again, it should work. http://muss.cis.mcmaster.ca

NOTE: For the first 24 hours you can only get emails to [email protected]muss.cis.mcmaster.ca so on Facebook... type the muss.cis bit in the email to confirm it. After a few days you can start using just @mcmaster.ca

NOTE: If it says you arent eligable its because you haven't confirmed your payment agreement yet and picked courses in SOLAR (or so it thinks)

See my article here.

but i just told you what happens when i click "enable your macid services" and when i go onto muss and try logging in w/my mac id + password it says its incorrect :S

what browser are you using?

mozillla

hahah but that browser/session timed out msg turned out to be because my session actually timed out, lol i just logged back in (on internet explorer as well) and it's back to saying i'm not eligble for mac id services! :(

OKAY YAYYY
so it finally worked and i enabled my mad id services.
but then i went to join the mcmaster network with my muss e-mail, and it said it'd send a confirmation e-mail, but i'm on muss and have received no e-mails.

did i do something wrong?! lol gah this stuff is confusing

i have the same problem. i can access to the mailbox now,and also can send e-mail to others,but can't receive any E-mails. Mailbox disabled for recipient .

This is how to join the facebook network with your newly activated mac id, worked for me.

1) Go to http://mugsi.mcmaster.ca/ and log in (to MUGSI) with your MacID's.
2) On the first page, on the upper right side where it says "Quick Links" There is a link to "Enable your MAC ID Services" click on that.

Forward your E-mails to your normal accounts if you haven't already:
3) Click on "My Profile" on the left side of the MUGSI page
4) Back under "Quick Links" is a link to "E-mail Address Management"
5) Click on the dot next to the textbox and put in your usual e-mails (hotmal/gmail/etc.), click "Submit"

To make sure it all worked out:
6) Go to http://muss.mcmaster.ca/ and login with your MacID's

Now this is where things get hairy. For some reason, you can send e-mails FROM muss but can't receive any. Here is what happened with me:
(I'm gonna use "user" instead of my MacID in these examples)

When I tried sending an e-mail to [email protected] r.ca I instantly got a response e-mail that the address does not exist.

So, I tried sending it to just [email protected] that did NOT get a failure e-mail in response, but I still haven't received the e-mail yet.

What I did to join the group:

I tried using just [email protected] to enter the McMaster network, and THAT worked. I got the e-mail shortly afterwards in my usual gmail account and now I'm in the network!! XD

HOPEFULLY it will work for you... no promises... be persistent and try both [email protected] and [email protected] r.ca but try the first one first. Resend the confirmation e-mail a few times if you have to, and be patient it takes a bit for the e-mail to come.
