You can register a short, easy to remember e-mail address, similar to those offered by online services such as America Online. It does not matter whether your e-mail is managed by your department, a commercial Internet service  provider, or DC/NS; a short UAB e-mail address can be arranged for you no matter where who provides your actual e-mailbox.

Best of all, your short e-mail address can be used throughout your association with UAB, even if the provider of your e-mail service changes many times. Simply update your Electronic Phonebook entry  whenever your e-mail arrangements change. Your @uab.edu address will  remain the same, and you won't have to worry about sending out a new address to your correspondents.
