To request a new department mailbox, fill out the Mailbox Request Form.
Have your supervisor give you the appropriate role and permissions within Role Manager in order to access a mailbox. Being an administrator of the role will not give you permission to access a mailbox, instead a user (including supervisors and other role administrators) must be added to the role in order to access the mailbox. Keep in mind these requested changes may take up to 3 hours.
1. Select the Email tab after signing in at http://my.byui.edu.
2. Select your user profile icon in the top-right corner of the window.
