Question:

How do I add or remove an e-mail alias?

Answer:

  1. Log on to My VT (http://my.vt.edu/) using your PID and password.

    Notes:

    • If you have forgotten your password, call 4Help at (540) 231-4357.

  2. Select the Personal Info tab.
  3. Under Contact Info, click the Manage Your Profile link.
  4. Beside E-mail and Forwarding, click the Edit link.
  5. Add or remove an alias.
  6. Click the Log Off button.
