I've been using my cwru.edu e-mail account for 6 years now as my primary account, and when I came to case it was guarenteed for life, if I recall correctly.

Hrm. I wonder if they'll at least let me do mail forwarding.

yes, you should probably be able to do mail forwarding by signing up for an alumni account (i think the page is here)
of course, i have no idea if you count as an alum or not, but you can hopefully figure that out here

as for having email for life, while yes, it was implied, i don't know if it was ever explicitly stated

Would that catch mail sent to my @cwru.edu address, or would I have to direct people to @alumni.cwru.edu?

Nevermind, the answer is in the FAQ and it is yes.

I'm having trouble parsing the FAQ -- was that a yes, we'll have to redirect people to alumni.cwru.edu?

[thekat03.livejournal.com]

no, you will not need to redirect people to alumni.cwru.edu
@cwru.edu will work
@case.edu will work
@po.cwru.edu will work (though i'd personally recommend phasing that one out since i wouldn't be surprised if at some point they want to phase that one out)
@alumni.cwru.edu will also work
your aliases (if you had something like coolalias@cwru) will no longer work
however, xxx123 will work, and i think firstname.lastname will work as well
any other questions? (:
