Ah, email. The bane of some existences, the lifeline of others. But for you, intrepid University of Michigan student, it's the gateway to grades, club updates, and those hilarious "important announcement - free pizza!" messages. But where do you even begin to access this digital treasure trove? Fear not, fellow Wolverine, for this guide will be your Gandalf on this email quest.
First things first: dust off your web browser of choice (because, let's face it, pigeons probably aren't the best for online tasks). Now, type in the mystical incantation mail.umich.edu. Don't blink, or you might miss the portal to your U of M email domain.
Here comes the part where you separate yourself from the rogue squirrels trying to hack into the system. Enter your uniqname (that fancy U of M username you got) and your UMICH password. Pro-tip: This is where good password hygiene comes in. Don't use "password123" or your pet goldfish's name (RIP Bubbles).
Uh oh! Duo Two-Factor Authentication Rears Its Head!
Don't panic! This isn't some three-headed guard dog. Duo is just an extra layer of security to keep your email safe. You'll likely get a notification on your phone (or another chosen device) - just approve it, and you're golden.
Congratulations! You've braved the wilderness and emerged victorious. Now you can bask in the glory of your U of M inbox, where important announcements, questionable spam, and maybe even a cat video or two await.
Important Side Note: U of M uses Google Apps, so you'll have access to all the bells and whistles of Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and more. Just explore and have fun (but maybe avoid sending those cat videos to your professor).
