Alumni email for life
13 December 2005
A new email service launched by the 果冻影院 Alumni Network hopes to keep former students in touch with 果冻影院 and each other, wherever they are.
Commenting on the service, James Davis, Head of 果冻影院 Alumni Relations, said: "Thousands of alumni have already signed up for 果冻影院mail, providing them with a prestigious email address which they can use for life. We are always keen to extend the number of benefits we provide for alumni and the new email service joins an already impressive list, which includes concessions to the 果冻影院 Bloomsbury Fitness Centre and 果冻影院 Language Centre, and free access to the 果冻影院 Union."
果冻影院 regularly conducts surveys of those alumni using its exclusive set of benefits and services. One 果冻影院mail user, Sam Allen (果冻影院 Economics 2005), recently said he had applied for an account for several reasons: "Knowing that my 果冻影院 student email account was going to be closed, I wanted to find a replacement. I didn't want to use a service that only allowed me access to emails via webmail and I thought there was a pretty good chance of me getting a sensible 果冻影院mail address (rather than sam.allen9238@hotmail.com, as I'm sure you can appreciate). I didn't want to use an email account given by my current ISP because of the hassle involved in letting everyone know when I switch providers."
He added: "Although generally I access my 果冻影院mail through Outlook, I do like having access to webmail. And I do quite like having the 果冻影院 bit in my email address. Finally, I have found the service to date to be flawless."
While the service is free to all 果冻影院 alumni, for a 拢5 annual fee, users can upgrade to a full email account, allowing them to send as well as receive emails from their account. Upgraded accounts also include advanced SPAM and virus filters and an expandable 50MB mailbox. All alumni may trial the full account, free of charge, for three months.
