Law Mail is USC Law's free webmail service, powered by Google. It comes with built-in Google search technology and 2 gigabytes of storage.

Students have always asked why they don't have a Law e-mail address and we figured, it's time they did!
Why lawmail is better than @usc.edu:
Please see this website for instructions:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?ctx=%67mail&hl=en&answer=12103
Among the features that were previously unavailable are calendaring and document sharing. There's even a built-in instant messaging feature! To find out more, please attend one of our three Lunch Lawmail sessions. Sign up here: http://mylaw.usc.edu/?page=gSignup.cfm
Fill out the form located on this website (http://mylaw.usc.edu/?page=request.cfm) and the Computing Services staff will migrate all of your USC e-mail for you. It will take at least one business day and you will be contacted once the migration is complete. You can, however, still login to lawmail while the migration is taking place.
To do so, go to the lawmail website (http://lawmail.usc.edu/) and look for the first item under the Helpful Tutorials, which is titled Importing Contacts. That tutorial will show you how to import your contacts from Outlook.
You can set up lawmail to retrieve e-mail from other accounts that have POP access enabled. Some of the free services do not offer this type of access. When you're logged into lawmail, click Settings, then Accounts, then look for the "Get mail from other accounts" section and click Add another mail account and follow the instructions.
Again, it depends on whether or not your mail service offers this option (Hotmail does not). Yahoo, for example, requires you to upgrade (i.e., pay) to Mail Plus to be able to do this. You can, however, set up your lawmail address as the reply-to address. You can also set up lawmail to send e-mails as another e-mail address.
When you're logged into lawmail, click Settings and then look for Signature. Type what you'd like as your signature in box and make sure you click the Save Changes button at the very bottom of the page!
When you're logged into lawmail, click Settings and then look for Vacation Responder. Type what you'd like as your vacation message in the box and make sure you click the Save Changes button at the very bottom of the page!
Login to lawmail (http://lawmail.usc.edu) and click Settings in the upper right-hand corner. Then, click Accounts. To the far right of your e-mail address, you'll see an "edit info" link. Click that and a window pops up where you can type in the desired name. Make sure to click "Save Changes" when you're done!
Yes, you can! One time, and one time only, if you prefer to go by a nickname, diminutive form of your first name, or even your middle name, we will change your username for you! To submit this request, go to: http://mylaw.usc.edu/?page=changeRequest.cfm
The new username, however, must still follow the naming convention of firstname.lastname.gradyear.
Yes! And it's built-in to lawmail! All spam will be automatically sent to the Spam folder and is automatically deleted after 30 days.
This service is being provided by the USC Law School as the primary e-mail/collaboration system for eligible students. University policies could apply to the service.
