Viewing and Modifying Mailbox Account Settings

You can modify the following settings for your Austin Exchange Messaging Service (AEMS) account.

  1. Log in to ITS Computer Account Services .
  2. Click the Austin Exchange Mailbox View/Modify button. A new window opens with the following information:
    • Display name—This is the name that appears in the From: field of e-mails you send. AEMS users typically list surname first.
    • Primary and secondary e-mail addresses—The primary mail address is the one you should use for setting up your e-mail clients, and it is the return address that will be stamped on outgoing mail. You can also receive mail sent to up to four additional secondary addresses. If your e-mail account is on a "hosted" domain, such as blanton.org, your primary account will be the hosted domain and your secondary account will be in the @austin.utexas.edu domain.
    • Mail forwarding—You can set your AEMS mailbox to automatically forward e-mail messages to another e-mail address.
    • Mailbox quota—You can increase your AEMS mailbox quota in 100 megabyte (MB) increments, up to 2000 MB. Additional disk space above the default, 200 MB, costs $0.70 for each 100 MB increment per year.
  3. Follow the prompts to change any of your settings.
