E-mail and File Storage
Question: What happens to all of the old e-mails, attachments and folders when my mailbox expires? Will I still be able to access them, or do I have to forward them to another e-mail account?
Answer: Once an MBA or Specialty Masters student graduates, you do not keep your @umd.edu account. Go to http://dataliberation.org and see how the Google engineers recommend saving your data.
All graduated MBA or Speciality Master students keep their @marylandsmith.umd.edu G Suite account for life, or until UMD's agreement with Google is terminated. This includes all email services and unlimited Google Drive storage.
