Tips and Tricks


Rutgers Email Tips — Did you know?

  • In your address (incoming and outgoing mail), you can drop the eden-dot if you want — it will work just the same.
  • You can set up aliases such as firstname.lastname@rutgers.edu. After the NetID is set up, go to Rutgers Intranet Services, then Manage mail delivery/vacation messages. Choose Forward mail to address in PDB. One of the aliases will be the netid@rutgers.edu. The other two can be created by the user but must contain a special character: "-_.$'" (double quotes are not included). The alias has the benefit of having a shorter domain (no eden-dot) and allowing for a longer username.
  • Alumni can get free email forwarding for life from an address @alumni.rutgers.edu. Please use the contact links on the alumni site if you have trouble registering.
