Is there a way to save my unity webmail account here at NCSU now that i am an alumni.

not your unity account. it'll get deactivated shortly. you can have mail forwarded from that address to an external email address, however. if i remember correctly, you can have it forwarded for a year. email help@ncsu.edu.

i'm pretty sure you can get an address @alumni.ncsu.edu if you're a member of the alumni association. ask them for details.

^You don't have to be a member. It is free to all alumni. You can sign up online.

Do you mean save as in retain access to your account or save as is archive or transfer your email to another location/account?

^ hah, yeah, i did that

that site sucks major donkey balls:

1.) it's done in frames, and bad links cause the frames to replicate
2.) it didn't accept my "validation code" (last 4 of SSN?)...surprise!
3.) when you try to do the "request help" or whatever, it takes you to a page with no links, no email addresses, and no forms...rather, it tells you to click a link on the right-hand side of the registration page...of course, there is no link

^ That's not your validation code at all (the last four # of your SSN). There should've been a form there. The webmaster got back to me quickly after I filled it out and got that code.

I found it:

they didn't mean "the far right," just over in the body of text
