GreenMail is a bi-weekly electronic newsletter for distributing news, time-sensitive information and reminders to all UAB students with a BlazerID.
GreenMail is distributed through e-mail before the start of business each Wednesday. It is the university's preferred method for bulk-message distribution.
The deadline for submitting items for inclusion is 10 a.m. Tuesday to be included in the next day's edition. Please note that only announcements submitted by UAB departments or Student Life programs will be considered for publication in GreenMail. Due to the volume of submissions received, you will not receive a response unless there is a problem with your request.
A link to previous editions is included is accessible by clicking on the GreenMail logo in the banner. Select the date from the pull-down menu. Or, click here.
Non-students may subscribe to GreenMail: Send an e-mail to greenmail-subscribe-request@listserv.uab.edu and type subscribe in the body; an e-mail requesting confirmation will be sent to you. Subscribers may unsubscribe from a non-uab.edu e-mail address by sending an e-mail to greenmail-unsubscribe-request@listserv.uab.edu.
Having problems with GreenMail?
I can’t unsubscribe from my uab.edu e-mail address
Because the university is committed to the principle of prompt and open communication with its students, GreenMail is designed to distribute news and updates to all UAB students with a BlazerID, without exception.
We understand that you may choose to delete the messages you receive from this account; however, we would encourage you read it regularly so you will not miss important matters of policy and events affecting the entire campus that will be communicated through GreenMail.
I do not attend UAB but I’m still receiving GreenMail
There are only two reasons that would happen: either you have subscribed using a non-uab.edu address or you are still active in the UAB student database.
To unsubscribe from your personal Internet service, send a blank e-mail to greenmail-unsubscribe-request@listserv.uab.edu.
If you still are identified as an active student in the directory, the e-mails will be sent until your status is changed.
The background is dark green and I can’t read the type
GreenMail has no background color. However, some subscribers who view it using Yahoo! mail have reported this issue. It is best viewed using a mail client, such as Microsoft Outlook or Entourage. If the difficulty persists, select “View as Web page” or manually change the color of the background in your mail client’s toolbar.
