Updating "Who I Am" Settings
to Direct Special Mailbox Messages

These instructions lead you through the steps to have special mailbox messages delivered to the address or addresses you choose.

• Go to Who I Am
  (by clicking the link here, by entering "whoiam.cornell.edu" in any browser, or by clicking the Who I Am icon in the Directory Services folder in Bear Access).

• Near the bottom, in the Note about special mailboxes, click the "here" link (as shown in the screen shot above). When asked for your Network ID, enter the name of the special mailbox including "-mailbox" but NOT including "@cornell.edu" (for example brrc-mailbox ). Be sure to use the special mailbox's password, not your personal NetID password.

• When you see the SpecialMailboxes@Cornell page (as shown above), in the tool bar near the top of the page, click on Electronic Mail. You may have to enter the special mailbox's password again.
