I have two email addresses I am mainly in charge of where I work.
First one is:
Company Name(somewhatabbreviated)@ourISP.net.
The other is:
My First initial lastname(with a D added on…I always do this)@ourISP.net.
I also thought up the very boring email addresses of everyone else because I have to keep up with them. No one else seems to. (sigh) I’m already an email “hacker/cracker” because I have to be. Good thing I thought up the passwords, as well.
name-you-are-known-by.lastname@publiccorp.com as we’ve several who go by their middle names.
firstinitialfirstfivelettersoflastnamenumber@companyname.com
The naming convention is a handmedown from an ancient pre-internet computer network. The company decided it would be easier to have everyone keep their original login names.
But what if your surname is only four letters long!! :eek:
Grim
Lastname.Firstnameinitial.Number@companyinitials.com
That actually works out to 21 characters, including the @ and the .
You can request changes if your last name is large enough, or if your number count is too high, of course, you’d better do that the first week, afterwards, you’re a gonner.
lastnameinitialsoffirstandmiddlenames@commandname.navy.mil
When there are several people with the same last name and first two initials (or only one initial) I think they’re assigned numbers after the first initial.
If your surname is five letters or shorter, you get to use your entire surname; Joe Smith, for example, could be JSMITH1. Or if there’s more than one Joe Smith, they would be JSMITH1, JSMITH2, etc.
The company standard is firstname.lastname@companyname.com
**BUT[/], (and here’s the cool part), I’m the email administrator for my company. I can make my email address whatever I want it to be … mwahahahaha …
Well I can have
whateverIdamnwelllike@companyname.co.uk,
which is nice, but into my inbox also comes
everythingpossiblethatisn’talreadyinuse@companyname.co.uk,
which means I have to spend 10 minutes every morning deleting spam. This costs the company more than a simple antispam solution would, but do they listen? Do they heck.
mine is firstname@thetinycompanyiworkfor.com
Not sure how they handle identical names for external email.
Either lastname.firstname@company.edu or LANID@company.edu will reach me.
