======CS Email======
Your CS email address is your account name followed by @cs.uchicago.edu This is distinct from your University account and email address. By default, we forward all of your CS mail to your @uchicago.edu address.

=====Checking Email=====
If your email is forwarded to uchicago.edu, you must read up on [[https://answers.uchicago.edu/page.php?id=24239|where's my mail]]. If your email is not forwarded, you can use [[https://webmail.cs.uchicago.edu|Webmail]] or [[Setup a Mail Client]]

=====Sending Email=====

Use [[https://webmail.cs.uchicago.edu|Webmail]] or [[Setup a Mail Client]].

====== Mail Forwarding ======
Email forwarding has gone through many changes so what you thought was true may not be true now.


===== @uchicago.edu =====
[[ https://myaccount.uchicago.edu | myaccount.uchicago.edu ]] is the portal to use to change your email forwarding.


===== @cs.uchicago.edu =====
When a CS account is created we forward all of your CS mail(cnetid@cs.uchicago.edu) to <cnetid@uchicago.edu>.
===== CS Change the forwarding address =====
The only way to change your forwarding address is to ask us (techstaff@cs.uchicago.edu).


====== Mailing Lists ======

===== Why am I subscribed? =====
If you ever took a course here you probably have a CS account. When you sign up for a CS account you get cnet@cs.uchicago.edu email address, which we automatically forward to your cnet@uchicago.edu address. We then subscribe you (cnet@cs.uchicago.edu) to the cs@mailman.cs.uchicago.edu mailing list. 
As a CS computer account holder we need a method to communicate with you. Mailing lists are one of the best ways to do so.

===== Unsubscribing =====
If you no longer want to receive the emails from any list in our department there is a link located at the bottom of every email sent out by the list host that allows you to unsubscribe.
The link you are looking for will look something like this: 
<code>
  https://mailman.cs.uchicago.edu/mailman/listinfo/cs
</code>
1. On the bottom of this page you will see a text box:
{{techstaff:unsubscribe.png}}

2. Type your email in the text box shown above. Mostly likely this takes the format of: ''%%cnetid@cs.uchicago.edu%%''

Please read [[ techstaff::mailinglist#the_tricky_part | The Tricky Part ]] section for details on which email you should use.

3. Click the button 'Unsubscribe or edit options'.

4. You will be taken to a page which provides a bunch of options. Look for the following 'Unsubscribing from cs'

5. Select the check box: 'Yes, I really want to unsubscribe' and click 'Unsubscribe'.

6. You will be redirected to a webpage that tells you if the unsubscribe was successful.
<code>
You have been successfully unsubscribed from the mailing list cs@mailman.cs.uchicago.edu. If you were receiving digest deliveries you may get one more digest. If you have any questions about your unsubscription, please contact the list owners at cs-owner@mailman.cs.uchicago.edu.

==== The Tricky Part ====
This is where it gets a bit tricky because depending on what time your account was created we will have used your [[cnetid@cs.uchicago.edu]] (auto forward to [[cnetid@uchicago.edu]]) or [[cnetid@uchicago.edu]] email address. If you are unsure which email to use you will need to try both. (Try cnetid@cs.uchicago.edu before trying cnetid@uchicago.edu).

After entering in your email you will be presented with a screen where you will be able to actually click the button to unsubscribe.
{{techstaff:actually_unsubscribe.png}}

Click this and you will be emailed a confirmation email. Click the link in said email and you are done. 
If you did not receive a confirmation email, you did not enter the email address that was used to subscribe you to the list.
