If you would prefer to have a different email address than your JHEDID@jh.edu, you can create an Alias.  This will “mask” your JHEDID with the alias that you create.  Aliases cannot be created with @jh.edu extension – they can only be created with @jhu extensions.  Please follow this link for instructions on how to create an alias -> https://my.jh.edu/portal/web/help/how-do-i-create-an-email-alias.  Please note that email sent to any of your ailiases will show up in your inbox, and a new alias may take up to 24 hours to become active.
