Oscar,
For e-mail purposes your netid is just a pointer to your account. You
can have many pointers to your account. I for example, have three
(mk, muk, and kolbmatt). I can only login with mk, but I get mail to
any of those three. The handles stick around forever until you ask us
to remove them.
./mk
