Student Email

Midwestern State University has entered into an agreement with Google to provide email accounts for all MSU students.

This email service provides students with 2 Gigabytes of email storage, and the account is generated automatically for new students at the start of each semester.  New student email accounts are created on the first day of each semester.

Accounts will be created as follows: firstname.lastname.mmdd@students.mwsu.edu
( where mmdd = first 4 characters of student birthdate )

bill.smith.0801@students.mwsu.edu would be the email account created for a student named Bill Smith whose birthday is the first day of August.

The student's email password will be the Mustangs ID.

The URL to login to the student email service is: http://gmail.google.com/hosted/students.mwsu.edu


How Do I Sign-In?Step 1: Open the following link in your favorite web browser:
http://gmail.google.com/hosted/students.mwsu.edu

Step 2: In the Sign-In area of the page enter your username as firstname.lastname.#### where #### is the first four digits of your birthdate. If you were born on August 20, #### would be 0820.

Please note: You should not enter @students.mwsu.edu as part of your username.

Enter your Mustangs ID in the password field and click the Sign In button.

How Do I Forward My MSU Student Email To Another Account?Step 1: Click on the Settings link on the top right-hand side of the browser window.


Step 2: Click the Forwarding and POP link in the settings menu.


Step 3: Make sure that "Forward a copy of incoming mail to" is checked and enter the email address you wish your email to be forwarded to and then you will need to select an appropriate action from the pull down menu such as "keep students.mwsu.edu's copy in the inbox," "archive students.mwsu.edu's copy," or "delete students.mwsu.edu's copy."


"keep students.mwsu.edu's copy in the inbox" will forward the email and keep a copy in the students.mwsu.edu account inbox.

"archive students.mwsu.edu's copy" will put the message into All Mail. All Mail is an archive box for emails that you don't want to see in your inbox but don't want to get rid of. You can search against the All Mail box and if a reply is sent to an email that is stored in All Mail, the conversation containing that message will be moved back to your inbox.

"delete students.mwsu.edu's copy" will forward the email and delete the message from the students.mwsu.edu inbox.

Step 4: Click the Save Changes button to save your configuration changes and begin forwarding emails.
