Adding Email Aliases and Addresses to Box

For faculty and staff, Box accounts are set up with your myBama username@ua.edu as your email address by default. Students’ @crimson.ua.edu email addresses are automatically added. To set up your Box account to properly handle collaboration requests that are sent to your email aliases, the aliases need to be added to your Box Account Settings.

1. Log in to your UA Box account at box.ua.edu

2. In the top right corner, click on account icon or photo.

3. From the menu that appears, choose Account Settings.

4. Locate the Login and Email Addresses section and choose Add Email.

5. In the field that appears, enter the email address you would like to affiliate with your Box account and choose Save.

6. Box will send a verification message to the new email address. Check the email for the address you have added and choose Verify Email to confirm the address.

7. If a verification email from Box is not present, check Spam or Junk Mail folders or return to the Box account settings and choose Resend Confirmation.

8. After the new address has been verified, you will receive an email confirmation and notification the next time you log in to UA Box.

9. Once the verified address has been aded to your UA Box account you can access collaboration requests sent to an alias through your UA Box login.
