Setting Up E-mail Aliases
Now that you have set up your JHEM e-mail account, you may want to have an address that's a little bit easier to remember (many people do not like their LID@jhem.jhu.edu address since their LID contains numbers). Fortunately, Johns Hopkins has set up a system to fix this problem. JHEM includes a service called E-mail Aliasing, which allows you to create different e-mail addresses that route to your LID@jhem.jhu.edu e-mail account. For example, if your JHEM account is jsomebody7@jhem.jhu.edu, you could setup jsomebody@jhu.edu to send email to your JHEM account. Additionally, you can forward your email to a non-Hopkins email address such as a Gmail or Yahoo email address. If you are interested in this service, please follow these instructions: 1. Log into the Hopkins portal at my.jhu.edu or my.johnshopkins.edu. Once logged in, click on the "myJhed" tab. This will take you to your Johns Hopkins Enterprise Directory (JHED) administration page.
3. Under the "Applications" section, click on "Email Alias".
4. After reading the "JHED Email Alias Policy Form", click the button at the bottom titled "I Accept This Policy". A screen will load that looks like this:
If you have trouble creating aliases, you can contact Hopkins' Help Desk at 410-516-HELP, or read the e-mail alias documentation. For more information on the JHED system, visit jhed.jhu.edu/. Click here to return to the overall instructions for setting up your email account.
