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).

An email alias is used to manipulate your email address into something other than your username@bethel.edu. While username@bethel.edu will still be active, you can have an alternate name to your email that better reflects your name.

Shared mailboxes are governed by IAM groups. New shared mailboxes can be created by following Requesting the Creation of New IAM Group.
