Email for life

The College is pleased to offer a scheme whereby every member of College can be assigned an email address on the Pembroke email system. The structure of each address follows a standard format, making it easy to contact your friends and contemporaries. The format is PreferredFirstname.Lastname.YearOfMatriculation@pem.cam.ac.uk - e.g. Bill.Smith.1958@pem.cam.ac.uk.

When forming PreferredFirstname and Lastname, spaces are turned into a stop/period character (.) while hyphens (-) remain and apostrophes (') are removed.

You can activate it at any time by telling us your real email address. We will add the information to the College database and any subsequent email will be forwarded to your real email address.

Your Email for life address is not an email account so it has no user name or password. It is an alias which forwards any incoming email to your real email address. You simply need to tell us if you change your real email address. Contact us for more information by emailing emailforlife@pem.cam.ac.uk This helps keep your real email address private and avoids you having to notify all your friends if you change jobs or internet service provider. Please be aware though, that if someone sends you a message using your Email for life address and you reply to it, your email programme will probably insert your real address into the email you send. Please also note that this service is intended for private, rather than business use.

If you wish to add your email address to your College record and participate in Email for life, contact us for more information by emailing emailforlife@pem.cam.ac.uk or calling 01223 339079.
