*Update regarding messages delivered to @blue.unco.edu*

On Thursday July 16th email messages sent to UNC student email addresses @blue.unco.edu will no longer be delivered.  Any message sent to an @blue.unco.edu address will be returned to the sender with a “System Undeliverable” error message.  As a result of the BearMail changes made approximately one year ago any subsequent email communication to UNC students should be delivered to @bears.unco.edu.  For example, if you had previously sent email to joe1234@blue.unco.edu  you now need to send that message to joe1234@bears.unco.edu.  If you have any questions regarding this update please contact the Technical Support Center at (970) 351-4357 or via email at technical.support@unco.edu.

The new version of BearMail includes:

  • Increased storage capacity of 10 gigabytes
  • Improved, easier-to-use address book/contacts and calendar functions
  • Modern graphic user interface and enhanced customization capabilities
  • Student selected hostname: @bears.unco.edu
  • Input from students about features

The new BearMail will not include the capability for automatic forwarding of all incoming messages.

UNC’s Information Technology Committee used student input in tailoring the new web-based student e-mail product.
