Getting a UMS (@maine.edu) Account. As a University of Maine System student, you are automatically issued a free e-mail account to use as long as you remain a student. New accounts are set up with this convention:
Firstname.Lastname@maine.edu
(for example: William.Smith@maine.edu).
If you are new to The University of Maine System as of May 15, 2002,
you will have to activate
your e-mail account using the eight-character code you received
from the Admissions Office or Registrar. If you registered for classes
before May 15, 2002 and hadn't already requested an account, you were
automatically assigned an address which has, as a password, the last
eight digits of your social security number.
