Trinity Web-Based Email
Trinity Email Address Format
Trinity e-mail addresses are composed of a username and a domain with a the "@" between the two: username@domain
Username
For everybody, the username is the individual's last name and first initial. If that username is already taken (as in the case of Joan Doe arriving at Trinity after Janet Doe), the username will be the last name plus the initial two letters of the first name.
Jane Q. Doe's username would be "doej"
Joan Doe, arriving after Jane, would have the username "doejo"
Domain Name
For students, the domain is students.trinitydc.edu.
For faculty and staff, the domain is simply trinitydc.edu
Examples
Student John Smith will have the email address "smithj@students.trinitydc.edu"
Faculty member John Doe will have the email address doej@trintydc.edu
Accessing Your Email
Trinity now uses Microsoft Outlook for campus email, enabling users to work together more productively. With a Trinity email account, you can access your email on the web from any computer connected to the Internet—just follow these easy instructions:
If you are a student, point your browser to http://www.trinitydc.edu/current/. If you are a Trinity employee, use http://www.trinitydc.edu/facultystaff/ instead. You should see a screen like the one on the right.
Enter your Username in the first field. Your username is what precedes the "@" in your full email address. Generally, this will be your last name, plus the first letter of your first name. Thus, "smithj" would be John Smith's username, in most cases.
Enter your password in the second field. If you do not know your password, please dial extension 9811 for the Technology Services Help Desk. If you are having difficulty with your password, be sure you are using the correct capitalization.
Press the "Log On" button.
Using Your Email
Once you have logged on using the above instructions, you will see a screen like the one at the right, which is divided into three columns.
The first column lists your email folders and other outlook tools. To view your incoming email, click "Inbox."
The second column lists emails inside the selected folder from column one, including who wrote the email, and when it was sent. Click on an email to read it.
The third column displays the selected message.
To compose a new email, or to reply to an email you have received, use the buttons above columns two and three.
When you are done using the web mail system, be sure to click the "Log Off" button in the upper right corner of the screen. This will stop others from using the same computer from accessing your private information.
Cleaning Your Mailbox
Each student account has a 25MB quota. Once this quota is reached, you will receive an automated email from System Attendant stating you are over the limit. Technology Services reccomends periodically removing old emails and emails with large attachments to stay under the quota.
After deleting emails, you will need to empty your Deleted Items folder.
