Alternate E-mail Address
 Set a permanent e-mail forward to your real e-mail account, of the form "Firstname.Lastname@colby.edu", to make your e-mail look more professional.  You will still need to use your real account for authentication purposes, such as password protected webpages.

Have your e-mail automatically reply for you while you are traveling.
