Technical Note

I just registered a BlazerID (phonebook e-mail alias) and
applied for an eMail & personal web site account.
 

PROBLEM:

  •  How do I check my email?
  •  How do I change my BlazerID password?
  •  How do I change my @uab.edu eMail-BOX (aka Real-Hose-based-emailbox)?
  •  How do I read the newsgroups?
  •  How do I create a personal web page?
First, follow this link to verify that you have indeed set up your DPO mailbox/web space.
Verify that I do have a DPO mailbox/web space
If all items say "YES" and your mailbox is on "norm.dpo.uab.edu" you are ready to proceed. 
If your mail box is on the UAB Cental Exchange server, mail.ad.uab.edu, click here.
Otherwise return to BlazerID Central and register.

SOLUTION:
 

  • How do I change my @uab.edu eMail-BOX (aka Real-Hose-based-emailbox)?

    •        From the ePhonebook page, click the red Change Information Icon, and enter your blazerid/alias & it's password then scroll down until you see "Real, host-based e-mail address:" and change the one there to the new email address. Scroll to the bottom and click 'Gray Change Button' then click end-session.
           Or, click here.
