About our new email address aliases

We have added a new alias to everyone's Email Address. In addition to an email address based on your Cabrillo College username, we offer an email address that is has the form:

• Firstname.Lastname@cabrillo.edu. 

For example, Mr. John Doe who works at Cabrillo College has the email address:

• jodoe@cabrillo.edu

and the email alias

• john.doe@cabrillo.edu
  

You can use either form to refer to Cabrillo College staff and faculty email.

Although the email  is similar to your Network Login, the two accounts are unrelated. This change is for your E-mail address only, not your Email username. Similarly,
  

TIP: If you decide to use the new Firstname.Lastname@cabrillo.edu email alias then change your Reply-To address in your Netscape or Mozilla preferences to reflect the change.
