Setting Your Primary Email Account

All mail sent to your MacID@mcmaster.ca will be delivered to the primary account inbox. This can be an internal account within McMaster or your personal external account. If your primary email is a non-mcmaster account, your mcmaster account will be completely bypassed and no mail will be deposited to your McMaster account inbox.

If you have any questions, or are unable to resolve your issue, get support via the Service Desk.
