Gmail for AU is Adelphi University's latest and greatest student technology service, providing all AU students with a free and permanent @mail.adelphi.edu email account.

Here are some of the great features:

• Proven reliability and ease of use thanks to Google’s extensive infrastructure and friendly Web interface.
