Your ESU Student Email Account
Emporia State University students enrolled in Lifelong Learning distance

University. Accounts with 10MB storage capacity are automatically created
a day or two after a student enrolls. Once this 10MB of storage space

will continue to be received. Mail is automatically deleted from your
Inbox after 180 days.

How to Access Your Account
There are two main ways to access your Stumail Account:
-
Log Into Buzz In at http://buzzin.emporia.edu and select GWWeb from the Quick Links Channel for instant access. You may also use the e-mail icon at the top; however, GWWeb is a much easier format to use.
--OR-- -
Go directly to your email account at http://stumail.emporia.edu and click Go.
Your username will be the first letter of your first name and the first 7 letters of your last name.* New default passwords will be the last six digits of your Student ID (Banner E-Number). You will be required to change this password once you login.
*If two or more individuals have the same first initial and last name, a number will be added to end of the account – for instance, George Washington’s account may be gwashing, gwashin1, or gwashin2, etc depending upon how many students' names start with G. Washin. |

How to Change Your Password
We suggest that you change your password once you have accessed your email account. While logged into Buzz In, select Password Management underneath Quick Links on the main page. You can also change it while within your email account. Just click on the Options icon at the top of the screen and select Password.
Email Forwarding
Please note that although forwarding email is an option, it is not recommended that you forward your email to a yahoo, hotmail, etc. email that may be full and keep you from receiving important messages from your instructor and the university. Thus, forwarding to other accounts is at your own risk. If you would like to forward your email to another email account, step-by-step directions are available in a Printed version version.
Using Email Clients
POP3/IMAP4 service is available*, allowing students to use third-party mail applications such as Eudora, Netscape Mail, Outlook, Outlook Express, and Entourage (Mac). To use these clients, use the following information:
-
Incoming mail server: stumail.emporia.edu

You must check the box that indicates authentication is required for
SMTP, or sending mail.
