FAQ'S

Hide all | View all

[+] What will my email address be?
Your username@gumtemail.com

If you are unfamiliar with what we mean by your username, it is essentially the initials of your First and Middle names combined with your full Last name. There are some exceptions that include a number at the end (the number makes it unique when there are other persons with the same username.) If you don't know what yours is, you can look it up online.

[+] I hear that Google reads my email. Is this true?
They do not ‘read’ your email per se. For use in targeted advertising on their other sites, and if your mail is not encrypted, software (not a person) does scan your mail and compile keywords for advertizing. For example, if the software looks at 100 emails and identifies the word “Doritos” or “camping” 50 times, they will use that data for advertizing on their other sites.

[+] How much email can I have?
So far each Google Apps @ GUMT eMail user is automatically allotted over 7.3 gigabytes of space (increases daily). Often in the transfer process the actual account size decreases (for various reasons). If some individual accounts surpass the 7.2 GB size limit, there are options for more space, though there is an annual fee for this extra space.

 [+] How do I open more than one Google Apps @ Apex eMail account at once?
It is not recommend, nor endorse giving someone other than the authorized user access to that user's email account due to a variety of security and legal reasons, we realize that the reality is that users out there need to do this on a regular basis in order to fulfill their job duties. If you do need to do this, open your own Google account via the Internet and view one account via your desktop client . Or if you need to open two Google Apps accounts at the same time on the same computer, open one in Mozilla Firefox and the other in Google Chrome.

Bottom line is that two different Google Apps @ GUMT eMail accounts cannot be opened simultaneously in the same browser. You must use two separate browsers to achieve this functionality.
