Re: Question Regarding Alumni email

[John Schaeffer <jsch () CONNCOLL EDU>]

We actually do both 1 & 2 using Google Workspace. We rename the account to @
alumni.conncoll.edu but Google creates an alias with the @conncoll.edu
address. So they receive emails to both addresses, but login using the @
alumni.conncoll.edu address after we move them. If they come back to work
for us we rename it back and they still receive email for both addresses.
My preference would be to not have two accounts to manage.
