Keeping your UBmail when you graduate or retire from UB

When you retire from UB or graduate, your mailbox size will be reduced to 50GB. You will be unable to send or receive email if you exceed the limit. Please ensure you are below quota prior to retiring or graduating.

• UBmail (Gmail): You must log in at UBmail.buffalo.edu at least once every 90 days. Checking your email with an app or email client alone will not work.
• UBmail (Exchange Online): You must log in at outlook.office.com or with a connected app at least once every 90 days.
  

If you don't log in:

• After 60 days you will be sent a reminder in email to log in within the next 30 days.
• 15 days later, you will receive another reminder.
• After 90 days, your UBmail will be deactivated. You will still retain the messages within and still receive email from senders.
• After 120 days, your UBmail mailbox will be removed. The mailbox will be deleted along with the contents within the mailbox. Messages sent to your account are automatically returned to the sender as undeliverable.
  

If you do not log in every 90 days and your account deactivates:

• Alumni: Complete the Alumni Association opt-in form to reactivate.
• Retirees: Contact the UBIT Help Center.

If your mailbox was deleted, you will receive a new, empty mailbox on UBmail (Exchange Online), regardless of which email you had previously.

Prior to retiring, contact your department’s IT support staff to inform them of your pending retirement.

If you don't want to keep your UBmail, don't log in for 90 days.

No, but you can sign up for UB Connect, a permanent email forwarding service offered by the Alumni Association.
