Student MBX e-mail accounts

All registered NMC students have an assigned college e-mail account. It will be the source of most official college communications. If you do not have a computer or Internet service, you may use the computers at NMC or most public libraries to access your email. Please check your email often.

Checking your NMC e-mail

Go to http://mbx.nmc.edu (web browser must support Javascript.)

You will be asked for your user name and password, which are the same as your NMC ID and password. Enter them into the appropriate fields and click "OK." The e-mail window will open in your web browser as shown below.

The system also provides a personal address book (contacts) and calendar. Both are accessible through the icons on the left side. If you need help, click the "help" icon in the upper right corner.

All student e-mail addresses take the form of "userid@mbx.nmc.edu" where the userid is the same as a student's on-campus network login. The userid consists of the first six letters of the student's last name followed by the first initial of their first name. For example, Jan Doe's address will be "doej@mbx.nmc.edu." In the case of identical userids, additional accounts will have a number added to the first six letters of their last name. For example, Mark Smith's userid could be "smith07" depending on how many "smithm's" already existed. Mark's address would then be "smith07@mbx.nmc.edu."

Currently, there is no student directory where you can find another student's address. You may, however, add addresses to your personal address book contained in this e-mail system.

Each e-mail account has a five megabyte (5 MB) storage limit.

Fall semester students who do not register for spring semester will have their accounts deleted one month after the end of fall semester.
