Qmail
At QCC our student email is now powered by Microsoft Outlook. Qmail (powered by Google) has been replaced as of June 5th, 2023. Student Qmail accounts will remain accessible through the Fall 2024 semester; however, all new correspondence from the college will be sent to the student Microsoft account: Student [at] Student.qcc.edu.
Starting on June 5th, students will be provided with a new Microsoft email address and a mailbox in the QCC M365 tenant. This will provide a platform for improved communication and collaboration. The student’s existing Qmail address and the associated mailbox will remain accessible at this time. The email address change will also change how students log into Microsoft services as well as The Q and Blackboard. Please review this document for additional information. Student Experience Document
Google Takeout
Transfer Email and My Drive Files to another Google Account
- If you don’t already have one, create a Google account to transfer the files to.
- To copy content that other people have shared with you, make sure those files have been added to your My Drive and are not only available in “Shared with me”.
- Sign into your QCC Qmail account and go to takeout.google.com/transfer.
- Enter the email address of the destination Google account.
- Select Send code.
- Check your personal Gmail account for the confirmation email, and in the email select Get confirmation code. A new tab will open with a code.
- Return to takeout.google.com/transfer and enter the code, and choose Verify.
- Choose the content you’d like to copy and select Start transfer.
Details about the process:
- The copy process usually takes a few hours but can take up to a week depending on the amount of content.
- Copied files may appear in batches in the destination Google account during the copy process.
- When the process is complete, you will receive a confirmation email to your personal Gmail account.

Your full student email address is your Qmail username. You can find your username by logging into The Q. In the top right corner is a circle (Avatar) with either your ID picture or a person Icon, click on the circle then select “My Profile & Settings”.
Click on Contact Information (at left) > Email Addresses - click the down arrow to view email address.
- e.g. John Smith - Qmail user name is jsmith [at] qmail.qcc.edu
You must go to the Registrar’s Office with a legal document (marriage certificate, divorce papers, etc) that states that your name has changed. At that time, you can ask that your Qmail username be changed.
Contact the IT Service Desk. Give them your Student ID, Qmail username, and any error message.
The default password will be the first two letters of your last name, followed by the last four digits of your social security number, then the letters “Qc”. This password is all lowercase, except for the letter Q. If you are unable to login using this password, contact the IT Service Desk to have it reset.
If you would like to receive your email on your phone, you will need to either use the Gmail app included on most android phones, or access it on your iPhone through settings and adding a Google email account. If you need assistance getting this setup, contact the IT Help Desk.
