Technological changes required the Office of Alumni Relations and other university entities to make changes in the idahovandals.com email forwarding service in order to continue offering this service.
The change requires people to change their e-mail from idahovandals.com to alumni.uidaho.edu before Aug. 1.
The new alumni.uidaho.edu service enables users to manage their forwarding/email service themselves rather than waiting for the university to make updates for them, which can cause emails to not be delivered.
How do I request my @alumni.uidaho.edu address?
Is the new email address just for forwarding?
- No, your new @alumni.uidaho.edu address is a full email account. You will receive a new temporary password, during the migration process, which will allow you to access the account and modify or remove your auto-forwarding address in the future.
Will my existing forward be setup for @alumni.uidaho.edu?
- Yes, your current auto-forward settings will be migrated from timhelmke@IdahoVandals.com into the new timhelmke@alumni.uidaho.edu account.
Will an @alumni account automatically be created for me?
- No, you must visit the https://help.uidaho.edu/IdahoVandals/ web page before August 1st to migrate your account. After that date all @IdahoVandals.com addresses will be removed.
Will I be able to continue to use @IdahoVandals.com with my new account?
- On August 1st all @IdahoVandals.com addresses will be removed and will no longer work with any service. Your auto-forwarding will be in place until that time, even if you opt-in to the @alumni.uidaho.edu service.
Who do I contact for assistance?
- Please contact the ITS Help Desk by email at helpdesk@uidaho.edu or by phone at (208) 885-4357.
