Understanding your Email Accounts
Most Bothell faculty, staff, and students have two UW email accounts, one administered by UW in Seattle and one administered here in Bothell.
Your Seattle account
Your Seattle account has the address username@u.washington.edu. You probably use Pine to access this account, which uses your UW NetID as your username. Support for this account is provided by UW Computing & Communications, which you can reach by telephone at 206-543-5970 or by email at help@cac.washington.edu. Further information about using your Seattle account can be found at UW Computing & Communications Using Email web site.
Your Bothell account
UWB has standardized on Microsoft Exchange for campus email, calendaring/scheduling, and task management, allowing UWB Information Technologies to provide support and training for these functions. Your account has the address username@uwb.edu or username@bothell.washington.edu. Access to this account is through Outlook on your desktop computer, or Outlook Web Access on the web.
You also have an NT account at UWB, which allows you to log on to your computer. The same username and password that make up your NT account are used for your Bothell email account. When you change your NT password, it automatically changes your Bothell email password as well. In effect, the same username and password which give you access to your computer also give you access to your Bothell email.
