Bearcats, set up your new CUNY email before finals!

Your new CUNY email is live, and if you don’t set it up with MFA soon, you’re probably going to miss stuff from Navigate, Brightspace, and other school updates once Baruchmail gets shut off.

This isn’t something to push off. Do it before finals and save yourself the headache.

A few quick things to know:

• Your main email is now your CUNY login
• You’ll also get emails through firstname.lastname## formats for both Baruch and CUNY
• If you’re at multiple CUNY schools, everything still goes to the same mailbox

What you should do right now:

• Set up MFA if you haven’t already
• Start checking your new inbox
• Make sure any important accounts using your old email get updated
• Save anything important from your old inbox

If you need help, BCTC is actually pretty available:

• In person: Room H 656
• Phone: 646 312 1010
• They also have Zoom support if you’re off campus

Hours are basically all week, including weekends, so there’s no real excuse to wait until the very last minute.

People always ignore emails like this and then scramble when something stops working. Don’t be that person.

If you already set it up, you’re good. If not, just knock it out now.

P.S. Your old emails don’t automatically transfer to the new CUNY inbox.

That said, they’re not instantly gone either, but once Baruchmail gets shut off, you won’t be able to access them anymore.

If you care about your old emails (important threads, attachments, memories, etc.), you should back them up now. The easiest way is to export your mailbox or forward/save the ones you need.

Just don’t wait until the last day because there’s no recovery option after access is gone.
