My.emich.edu and e-mail

My.emich.edu is the campus portal, giving you access to announcements, weather, updates, e-mail and various on-campus services. You can use it to access and manage your professional records. Plus, it's customizable, with "channels" that you can add at the click of the mouse, and feed in news or other information of interest to you. It's YOUR portal to EMU and beyond.
*TIP*
If you use a separate e-mail client, log in to my.emich at least once a day to read the campus announcements and check for news. Then, use your favorite client or web site to get your e-mail.

Managing your e-mail: Your standard 20 MB allocation
• Remember that attachments take up space for you and the recipient; clean out your mailboxes regularly
• "Sent" messages take up space, especially if they include attachments; clean out your "sent" mailbox
• Old, forgotten messages take up space; again, clean out your sent box
• Automate your trash cleanout so all messages in trash are deleted upon logout.
