Changes Coming to Your Email !

As previously announced, email addresses in the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES) will change to a new domain. In order to optimize the performance of the CFAES messaging system, a single e-mail domain has been established for all employees, cfaes.osu.edu.  Within this domain, each CFAES employee will be assigned a new e-mail address. 

In the past users have had an OSU assigned address in the form of name.number@osu.edu in addition to a college or department assigned address. These additional addresses may look one of the following:

  • username@agavax2.ag.ohio-state.edu

  • username@postoffice.ag.ohio-state.edu

  • username@ag.osu.edu

  • namenumber@postoffice.ag.ohio-state.edu

  • name.number@ag.osu.edu

These addresses will be retired. Soon, all CFAES faculty and staff will have just two valid university email addresses:

  • name.number@osu.edu   which forwards to a college address of

  • name.number@cfaes.osu.edu

Steps you need to take now.

  1. Check subscriptions to external lists and correspondence. Subscriptions using name.number@osu.edu will continue to work. No change is necessary.
    If you are subscribed to a lists using other old domains you should unsubscribe and subscribe using your new address.
     

  2. Change your email client (Outlook, Eudora, etc.) to use the new  cfaes.osu.edu domain.

  3. Check name.number@osu.edu forwarding to insure email sent to this osu.edu is forwarded to the new cfaes.osu.edu domain. (click for help with this)
    There is no forwarding to change with county accounts
    (ie, alle@cfaes.osu.edu) so this does not apply to these accounts.
     

  4. Start using and distributing either name.number@osu.edu or name.number@cfaes.osu.edu as your email address on all correspondence.
