Bethel University uses Google Apps for Education to provide Bethel community members with email. This , thus Bethel email is through gmail.

When it comes to the Bethel email account, the password is the same password used for Bethel account pages (for MyBethel and other Bethel domains).

There are several ways to access a Bethel email account:

1) Login at gmail with your username + @bethel.edu (e.g. abc12345@bethel.edu) and then your password (it is technically a gmail account)*

2) Login at MyBethel with your credentials, and click the "Email" link at the top of the page

3) Go to mail.bethel.edu (continue to login if the page does not login automatically)

*That is, if you do not have an alias set; if an alias is set, then login will be with the alias + @bethel.edu (e.g. firstname-lastname@bethel.edu)

The rest of this article provides information and links to Gmail Support pages.

Setting up an alias

You can set an alias for your email on iam.bethel.edu by logging in and selecting "Manage Email Aliases" (this only works on Firefox or Internet Explorer). From here, you can choose to reserve an alias (like firstname-lastname@bethel.edu), press submit, and then go back to that page and activate the alias (select "Activate," choose the alias, and submit again). This makes the alias the primary address, meaning the address you use to login and the address that is listed by your name in the directory (emails sent to your original email, your username + @bethel.edu, will still go to the same mailbox).
