trickykittyWhy oh why?
I've gone this entire time with not a clue as to what my UTA email address is. We used the same ID and password to sign in to the registration module and the email system alike.
Until now. Our new email system requires you to use your email address to log in. Ok, that wouldn't be a problem except that I've never given out my email and don't know what it is.
After a fun little search I finally find out I have 4 different email addresses associated with UTA and not one of them uses the same password as my registration sign-on (which, btw, is not the same as my registration ID which happens to be a long ass number that I can never remember either), but instead is a long series of numbers that I luckily found on an obscure UTA website that I personally have never had to use before, and which required my registration sign-on and password to access.
Did you get all that?
It would have been nice if they had sent an email a MONTH ago telling me all of this. I knew they were changing the email system to provide for more space, blah, blah, blah, so while that's nice and all, it still sucks having to jump through mini hoops just to see if I have any email messages.
Yes, I may just be a grumpy old bitch when it comes to this sort of crap, but that's why you enjoy reading my trials and tribulations on LJ, right?
EDIT:GRRRERERFEEEDSDFSKLJGDSGDSHO:
THEY DIDN'T AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFER EVERYTHING FROM OUR OLD EMAIL SERVER TO OUR NEW ONE!!!111 We get to transfer this ourselves manually. Even better - there's nothing on the page saying that this wasn't done and that we will have to do it ourselves. It's not until after you've logged in to the new email server and see that something is noticeably missing and then go back to the info page and see a "Student E-Mail Migration Page" link that you finally realize once again that UTA sucks giant hairy monkey balls. Fuckers.
EDIT2: That Migration Page I mentioned...yeah, well that's were they tell you that you need to set up the new email account and they walk you through the steps that, if you were a smart monkey like me, YOU'VE ALREADY FUCKING DONE no thanks to them.
