• What will happen to my mica.edu email address?
  • As of December 2021, due to changes in Google's service, mica.edu email addresses for alumni will be permanently retired. It is important that all alumni who have and use their mica.edu email address transfer all their contacts, emails, folders and files to an alternate email address and storage option.

 

• My mica.edu email address is my primary email address, what should I do?
  • Alumni need to create a new email address, and transfer all contacts, emails, folders and files to an alternate email address and storage option. It is recommended to set up an automatic response (also known as a vacation reply) on your email to give your contacts a new email address to contact you with.  

 

• I haven't been able to access my 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 account in a few years, but I'd like to have access to transfer and download all files and data.
  • The help desk can give you temporary access, please email them at help@mica.edu.

 

• If I am a staff/ faculty/undergraduate or graduate student at 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 do I have to worry about this
  • Staff, faculty and current undergraduate and graduate students will continue to use their 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 email address until they are no longer at 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯. However, current students, faculty, staff, and department accounts will have a storage limit, projected to be about 15GB placed on their accounts effective early-to-mid 2022.

• How can I move my email history to a non Google account?
  • The only way one can move their email history to a non-Google account right now is to use Google takeout as a first step. And then import the emails to their preferred email system. The Google takeout also backs up the entire email system including storage, unless you deselect those options. If the destination email is Microsoft Outlook, you can open the exported Google files (mbox) by installing thunderbird and outlook on your computer at the same time. Thunderbird is free. Thunderbird will help convert the Google mbox into a format (PST) that Outlook can import.
  • Note: There are many mbox converters online. Some are free and others cost money. The Thunderbird option is free and it works on both Mac and PC.

 

• Does this mean my current 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 email will not be recognized by Gmail if I try to sign-in after December 2021?
  • Yes, as of December 2021 alumni mica.edu emails will no longer be in service. 

 

• What happens to accounts and information we have connected to these emails- especially important ones like businesses, Netflix, Amazon Prime, banks etc?
  • Alumni are responsible for updating their subscriptions and services to a personal email address. The mica.edu email address will cease to exist after Dec 31, 2021.

 

• Will my stored emails on my mica.edu address stay stored?
  • No, alumni will have till Dec 31, 2021 to transfer all contacts, emails, folders and files to an alternate email address and storage option.

 

• When I was a freshman at 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯, I was told I could use my 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 email after I graduated. Why has this now changed?
  • Google has recently announced significant changes to the services they provide to colleges and universities. As you probably know, 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 uses Google’s platform — consisting of apps and services like GMail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Slides, Sheets etc — as one of its primary digital work and collaboration platforms. 
  • Previously, Google provided institutions with unlimited pooled storage across the College for these services — imposing no limit on the amount of files / storage 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 could use. This will soon change as Google is ending unlimited storage for institutions. All of us will all have to change our overall mindset on file storage and be mindful of the amount of storage space we are using. Unlimited storage is ultimately unsustainable both economically and environmentally, making this transition, while inconvenient, one we all should ultimately embrace.

 

• What do I do about my iGrad account that I signed up for using my 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 credentials?

Should this happen, you can easily sign up for a new iGrad account using a non-足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 email address.

 

• How will I access my 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯network account without my 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 email?
  • Alumni will still have access to 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯network by password login rather than through their 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 login.
