McCombs Student Email Addresses in UTmail (Aliases)
All students at the University of Texas at Austin are eligible to claim a UTmail lifetime email account. In addition to this, students in Business school graduate programs get an additional email address they can use with their UTMail account. The second address is also a lifetime address.
The UTMail account is a UT branded Gmail account with an address in the form of @utexas.edu. Within certain parameters, students get to select what name they want to appear before before the "@" in the email address @utexas.edu. Any UT student can claim a UTMail account and select a UTmail address by visiting http://utmail.utexas.edu.
The additional McCombs address is is a managed address that specifies the the McCombs degree program and, in most cases, the class in that program. The name that appear before the "@" also includes a students proper first and last name. Students are given an opportunity to change how their name appears before the managed address is created. If a student wants to request a name change after that, they should submit a help request ticket at www.mccombs.utexas.edu/tech

Step One - Go to https://secure.mccombs.utexas.edu/MOR
At the McCombs Online Resources (MOR) website, logon with your EID. Go to the UTMail tab and either confirm that the way you name is displayed is how you want your name to appear or else update your name preferences (see above for an example screenshot).
Step Two - Go to http://utmail.utexas.edu
At the UTMail web site you will log on with your EID and create an account. You will be given an opportunity to select your own @utexas.edu address and set a password for your UTMail account. You can then check that account with what email application you prefer that works with Gmail.
Info for Student Employees and Alumni only
UTmail also offers Business accounts for employees and TexasExes accounts for alumni in addition to Personal accounts for students. If you are also a student employee or an alum you may already have a UTmail account or have the option to create more than one UTmail account. Most students will not see these other options, but if you do be sure to create a Personal UTmail account if you want a McCombs address. Personal accounts are student managed email accounts that become lifetime accounts upon graduation. Business accounts are available to employees only as long as they are employed by the university. TexasExes accounts are managed by the Texas Exes alumni association.
Neither Business accounts nor Texas Exes accounts can have McCombs addresses associated with them.
Converting Business Accounts
If you already have a Business account but no Personal account, you may convert your Business account into a Personal account by contacting the ITS Help Desk at 512-475-9400. Normally, your Business account would be deleted once you leave the university. By converting it to a Personal account you ensure it also remains as a lifetime student mailbox.
