There currently is no process for removing SUmail University Email accounts for former SU students.  Until a removal process is developed, a former student who no longer wants an SUmail account will need to set up a rule within SUmail to delete all messages, and then set an auto-reply message to let the sender know the account is no longer being used.

Set up a rule to delete all messages.

  1. Log into SUmail your University Email account by going to http://sumail.syr.edu,click the Continue button, and log in with your entire SU e-mail address and NetID password
  2. If you do not remember your password go to https://selfserv.syr.edu/accounts/pwdForgot.asp to reset your password, or call 315-443-2677.
  3. Click the Options link in the upper right corner of the screen (just under your name)
  4. Click 'Create an Inbox Rule...'
