Getting Started with your MU LiveMail Account

Here are two quick ways to access your new MU LiveMail account:

MU LiveMail Web Access through the myMU web portal

• Step 1) Go to http://www.marshall.edu/myMU

• Step 2) Sign on with your MUID and PIN (ie. 901999999 and 999999)

• Step 3) Click on the new 'MU LiveMail' icon in your myMU toolbar to open your MU LiveMail web interface.

MU LiveMail Web Access (standalone)

• Step 1) Go to http://Outlook.com

• Step 2) Enter your Marshall LiveID and password (username@live.marshall.edu and password that YOU selected upon first logon)

• Step 3) Click on the 'Sign On' to open your MU LiveMail web interface.

You can also access your MU LiveMail account from your preferred e-mail client or mobile device. Just visit the following URL to the MU LiveMail FAQ pages (http://www.marshall.edu/ucs/systems/live/live_FAQS.asp#client)

Important note for LiveMail Users who are NOT incoming NEW students (existing students or alumni):

Your @marshall.edu e-mail is NOT automatically routed to this mailbox. You will still have a mailbox on the MU web portal myMU through the "e-mail" icon on the upper right side with your username@marshall.edu address. This will change at a later point in time as all Marshall students will eventually be required to use the new LiveMail service and the older Mail system will be retired. For now, if you would like to have all your NEW Marshall.edu e-mail forwarded to your new OutlookLive mailbox, visit the MU E-mail Delivery web page (see http://www.marshall.edu/ucs/systems/emaildel.asp) and select 'Set E-mail Delivery Location', authenticate with your MUNET username and password, select 'Change Email Delivery Location', and select the option of 'Your mailbox at live.marshall.edu' (do not select 'The Marshall University Exchange Server', this option is for faculty/staff mailboxes only). If you would like to STOP delivery of new mail to your account@live.marshall.edu, revisit this page above, and select 'The Marshall University MUmail System' as your e-mail delivery location.

Things to Know:

• Your @LIVE.marshall.edu mailbox is a Microsoft Exchange mailbox with 10GB of email storage space. The SkyDrive feature (provided and supported by Microsoft) will give you another 7GB of online storage through the http://www.live.com homepage.

• Remember that e-mail sent/received from your OutlookLive mailbox will have a return address of username@LIVE.marshall.edu. So if you sign up for private mailing lists, be sure to subscribe with your
  @LIVE.marshall.edu address to be able to reply to these mailing lists.

Useful Resources:

• Go to http://help.outlook.com and take a look around at some of the FAQ questions - especially if you want to setup your full e-mail client (Outlook, Thunderbird, Mac Mail, etc.)

• Take a look at the options (at the top of the interface) for 'Skydrive' and your WindowsLive Home/Blog space. There are more options which are also accessible with your new Live.Marshall.edu WindowsLiveID.
