How do I access my generic email account?

How do I add or remove owners & members?

- To add or remove members or owners of the generic email account, please click on the instructions on the right hand side called "Generic Account Maintenance".

Looking ahead….
In the future, we will implement a new process for maintaining the generic email accounts. For example, we will require a designation of an account owner, who will administer the addition, deletion, or modification of names within the account, as well as manage the account as per these guidelines.
- These accounts will be created with an expiration date of 1 year, at which time the owner can request a renewal, which will be granted pending verification of ownership and the member list.
- Shorter expiration dates will be given where appropriate, such as to accommodate specific time-sensitive needs.
If you have any questions, please contact the Helpdesk @ 97777 or emailsupport@villanova.edu.
