Google@UH Gmail
Overview
University of Hawaii's new email service is Google@UH Gmail. Your hawaii.edu email address remains, but has been activated as a Google Apps account which gives you access to many Google services like Gmail by using your hawaii.edu email address login. To access your Google@UH Gmail account go to: http://gmail.hawaii.edu. (You must be migrated first. Go here to view the migration checklist if you haven't migrated yet.) Note: Your Google@UH account is separate/different from a regular Google or Gmail account (if you have one).
Tip - To bookmark Google@UH Gmail in your Internet browser, right-click on http://gmail.com/a/hawaii.edu/ and left-click on "Bookmark this link" or something similar since it varies for each type of Internet browser.
