Using your School email address [#permalink] New post   06 Jan 2009, 12:38
I am curious how you all plan to (or have, for current MBA students) used your school provided email address. I currently use a gmail address and am considering switching over to the Chicago Booth addy to streamline things. Then again, when I'm done with the program, it seems like it might be silly to keep using a Chicago Booth address for my personal emails. Do you just use your school email for school contacts, recruiting, etc.?

You can go into gmail option and forward all your emails to your Booth email account for next 2 years. After that, your school email should allow you to forward all emails to another email address as well (i.e. - back to gmail or alumni Booth email address)

I did this with my NYU alumni email. :-D

Gmail also lets you send as your school email and check your school email if it has POP. I pull my email from school all into Gmail, and work out of there. I send my emails out as my school one for career and school stuff, otherwise I stick with gmail.

I probably will keep them seperate. I check my mail mainly through my phone and I already have my chicago address set up on it so I don't see the need to have them forwarded. It is a matter of pressing an extra screen to get between accounts.

So how does scheduling meetings via email work? Can you send a google meeting request and have it populate the Outlook calendar and vice versa?

Sorry if this is a silly question :)
