Service Detail

Shortly after you leave the University, your student @cam.ac.uk account will be terminated. Thereafter, you will be entitled to use the lifetime alumni email service provided by the Alumni Office.

Your address will look like:

your.name@cantab.net

As well as being a useful continuation of your University identity and an easy way to keep in touch with your peers, the address will also come in very useful in the next phase of your life:

Account Options

These email addresses have two account types - Webmail and Enhanced:

• Webmail - A FREE FOR LIFE email account offering email forwarding and webmail-only access to a limited 10MB account. You can also use this servic to forward your mail elsewhere.
• Enhanced - A fully featured email service starting from 100MB (up to several GB) supporting full connectivity via POP3/IMAP/Mobile Phone/SMTP. After a long free trial period this account is maintained for just £4.99/year.

All 2008 leavers automatically receive 12 months FREE sponsored membership to the Enhanced account level, giving enough storage space to migrate univerity data and fully trial the service. Applications from past alumni will receive 3 months free Enhanced-level service.

A Quality Service

Cantab.net differentiates itself from the many public/free email services on the web by offering a higher quality email experience, uncluttered with distracting advertising and fully supported by a properly manned helpdesk.
Being a trusted, university provided service, you can be 100% sure that your privacy will always be completely respected, resulting to a noticeable absence of spam (provided of course you keep your address private yourself). Even if the address does get on the odd marketing list, our dedicated and user-configurable spam firewall captures the majority of junk.

You will recieve expceptional customer service

The subscription amount of just £4.99 per YEAR is perhaps the smallest of any ad-free service and you should expect to rapidly recoupe this value in terms of both the stress and time saved.
