Starting E4E Service

1) Overview of E4E for new users.

E4E is

• Electronic Information
• For
• Everyone with a UCI Faculty/Staff ID.

This service is primarily for those who do not already have the capability to send electronic mail.

There are 3 simple steps to starting to use this service.

1. Activate your UCInet ID by choosing a password for it.
2. Activate your E4E account on the e4e.uci.edu system using your UCInet ID and newly chosen password.
3. Read ``How to access your E4E account in the future."

2) About Your UCInetID

Every faculty member, student, and staff member at UCI has been assigned a unique UCInetID that can be used for all of these services. If you are a faculty or staff member, your UCInetID is the same as your electronic mail address as published in the UCI Campus and Medical Center Telephone Directory, in lower case without ``@UCI.EDU" appended to the end. For example, if your electronic mail address were ``JDOE@UCI.EDU", your UCInetID would be ``jdoe" (without the quotes, of course). Your UCInetID is solely for your use. Your password is your sole protection against someone else pretending to be you; do not let anyone else know what it is. Any UCI faculty and staff members can obtain their own UCInetID easily and at no cost. While the activation software attempts to steer you away from easily-guessed passwords, it is ultimately your responsibility to protect the privacy of your password.
