Student E-Mail

Rowan Gmail

Some important information:

Your username, email address and password will remain the same. All of your saved messages will be migrated into the Rowan Gmail system automatically.

YOUR OLD EMAIL

It will take about 2 weeks to move all of the existing email into the Rowan Gmail system.  If you need to check an old email before yours has been moved over, you can still login to NetMail by visiting http://netmail2.rowan.edu

ADDRESS BOOKS

It is not possible to automatically move your address books.  You will need to copy any addresses you wish to keep  into the Rowan Gmail address book yourself.  As stated above, you will still be able to access them in the NetMail system (http://netmail2.rowan.edu) for a few weeks after the switch.

AUTOMATIC FORWARDING

If you are currently forwarding your Rowan email to another account, you will need to set that up again from within your Rowan Gmail account.  Instructions can be found here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=10957

POP/IMAP

Students using an email client such as Thunderbird or Outlook will have to change their server settings to access their mail from Rowan Gmail. POP and IMAP will be enabled system wide.

IMAP Instructions: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=12806

PLEASE NOTE: when following the POP/IMAP instructions you need to substitute your @students.rowan.edu address anytime it says to use your @gmail.com address.  Also - Gmail does not accept passwords for POP or IMAP that are less than 6 characters long.  If your current Rowan Network password is less than 6 characters, you will need to change it before using POP or IMAP to access your Rowan Gmail account.  You can change it here:  http://www.rowan.edu/password
