My University WebMail Password and
My Account Information Page
Your university WebMail password also sets your password for accessing LEONet and Blackboard. When you change your WebMail password, you will change your LEONet and Blackboard password.
Please note: Your university WebMail password expires every 180 days, and you will be required to change your password. You will receive an e-mail when it is time to change your password.
Your Account Information page allows you to perform a variety of functions, including changing your Password, setting your Password Question/Answer, and choosing your outgoing e-mail address alias.
The Password Question/Answer provides you the opportunity to reset your password should you ever forget your password. It is important to set your Password Question/Answer when you first receive your WebMail account.
Your outgoing e-mail address alias is what will appear as your WebMail address whenever you send out an e-mail message. You do not want your outgoing e-mail address to reveal your university ID (your "W" number), which should be kept private.
The following instructions will guide you in changing your university password, setting your Password Question/Answer, and what to do if you forget your password.
