Once you have BlitzMail installed on your computer, you will be able to send and receive e-mail at Dartmouth or through the Internet. Dartmouth creates a BlitzMail account for all new students, faculty, and staff and assigns a default password.
Your e-mail address (and your DND name) consists of your first name, your middle initial, then your last name, separated by periods, followed by @dartmouth.edu. For example, if your name is John A. Doe, your e-mail address is John.A.Doe@dartmouth.edu. Be sure to use your full name when giving people off campus your e-mail address. Doing this will ensure delivery of all your electronic mail during your tenure at Dartmouth. Nicknames may not be or remain unique, so we can only guarantee mail delivery to e-mail addresses using your full DND name.
NOTE: In those instances where two people have the same first name, middle initial and last name, we expand the middle name to differentiate between the two accounts (e.g. John Alan Doe and John Adam Doe), or append the department or class year to the account name (e.g. John A. Doe 10 and John A. Doe 12).
Your default password is normally set to a randomly generated series of characters. This information is sent to your on-campus (Hinman) mail box or to your home if you are a commuting student. If you do not receive your password mailer from Computing Services, please contact the IT Service Desk (Help Desk) at 646-2999 and select from the options provided, or call your department's IT support office. To have your password reset, you must have your Dartmouth ID or some other picture ID with you.
