I have had one for almost the past year. I have had it set up in exchange on my iphone and ipad. At least 3 times over past year, the password goes bad and I have to email alumni organization to reset. I do not have this problem with any other account.

I am requesting reset one last time, will forward needed info to another account and close it.

Anyone else w/ similar experience?

I've got one. Had it since the day they started offering them. Never changed my password.

Don't have it linked to my iPhone and iPad though. Just use the app they have.

Same. They contacted me through my paws account I was still using about 4 years after I graduated.

Any thoughts about why my password continues to expire? It just randomly tells me one day when loading email that I need to enter the password in the settings.

Are the PW supposed to be changed regularly?

I'm not ashamed to admit I couldn't follow the instructions after I graduated to activate it.

Yes, but never had the problem you're having. I think I change mine once a year. I have it setup that way, as I do for all my personal passwords

Not to my knowledge. Maybe you have some setting in office365 to change your password every x days

I emailed them trying to set one up but I never got a reply. Anybody have a link? I think I'm getting close to my paws email getting shut down.

I graduated last May and received the e-mail to change mine from tigers.lsu.edu to alumni.lsu.edu. But the link was broken. So I e-mailed for help and never got a response.

So I'm still here rockin the student e-mail address.. waiting for the day I'm suddenly shut out.

The "invite" or "nudge out the student door" just came through an email in the paws account one day. I signed up and since then I always type mail.live.com and it signs in through Outlook/Windows e-mail. I was shut out of paws the next day it seems...

Ipad only. OWA/Office 365 mail app. If you log into your mail account on your iPad browser, it'll prompt you to DL the app.

I never have issues with mine on my phone but the desktop version is a complete shitshow. I just recently created a gmail account to serve as my "official" email address that I use for important things. I've had the @alumni.lsu.edu account for about 7 years now and I've just had enough with it now. frick em!

Anyone know how long after graduation they wait until they shut it down?

Here is her response to why this is occurring in case anyone is interested:

quote:

OK. Don’t know why, but we have to reset our passwords here every 3 months. I’ll see if I can find out, but the site where I create your email address does not provide easy access for questions or problems. You are not the only one who has this happen.


I think I'll just change my address for any important things in that box and be done with it.

I refused to get one after they cut off my lsu.edu address without telling me. A friendly "Today is your last day to use your lsu.edu address" would've been helpful.
