Using BlitzMail

< Previous | Next >

Once you have the Dartmouth software installed on your computer, you will be able to use BlitzMail 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 (also called your DND or Dartmouth Name Directory name) is 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 to 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 your full DND name.

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 are a student and you do not receive your password mailer in your Hinman mail box, contact the Student Computing Help Desk in 172 Carson Hall; if you are a faculty or staff member, you should contact your department's computing support office. To have your password set, you must have your Dartmouth or some other picture ID with you.
