Setting Up a Backup Email Address

update date : 2026-09-23

This article explains how to set up a backup email address and how to use it to reset your password if you forget it.

It applies to faculty and staff email (dragon.nchu.edu.tw, nchu.edu.tw) as well as student email (mail.nchu.edu.tw).

We strongly recommend setting up a backup email address so that you can retrieve your password on your own in case you forget it, without needing to reset it in person at the IT center.

 

  • Setting Up a Backup Email Address
  1. Once logged into WebMail, click on [Preferences].
    WebMail URLs: Faculty and Staff (https://dragon.nchu.edu.tw) or Students (https://mail.nchu.edu.tw)
