We provide you with an email account. Assuming your user name is yourname, you can receive mail at yourname@uofr.net.
You can also append the plus-sign followed by any word to your user name to make it easier to sort your mail. For example, if your user name is joeuser, you can reveive mail at any of the following addresses: joeuser+widgets@uofr.net, joeuser+spam@uofr.net, joeuser+lists@uofr.net.
