    My account seems fine. Try contacting the computer department. You should be able to find some kind of contact details on the UCC website. Sorry I'm not more help but trouble shooting isn't my strong point!:o

    Working fine for me too.

    By any chance did you reply to that bogus email that's currently circulating asking for your email password?

    Yeah make sure of that. The Computer Centre are sending around emails about this. They won't ever ask you for your passwords.

    Did you enter your password into one?

    Mine's working fine, checked it twice today.

    Ah crap. I doubt you're in trouble, it's just that your email account has been 'hacked' or something.

    Here this is on to http://www.ucc.ie/en/sit/ (where you log in to your student administration)
    Click the "Bogus email" section below where you enter your student number and PIN.

    Here's what it says -

    "There are a number of bogus emails circulating at the moment purporting to originate from what appear to be bona fide sources within UCC and pertaining to the operation of your email account. The subject line typically states that **Account Upgrading**, and the message itself encourages you respond to the email with your password among other things.

    Do not follow the instructions contained in these emails. Please delete them immediately.

    If you have replied to such an email please reset your password immediately. If you need instruction on how to do this please email sit@ucc.ie"

    Do what the highlighted part says.

    I'm sure you can sort it out. :)
