 Yes, it did. Due to a strange difference in the way messaging is handled when sending to yourself through ECON, messages sent to a list don't make it back into your personal inbox (which I assume is Google trying to cut down on message redundancy). However, unless you see bounce-back messages appearing in your inbox you can assume it successfully delivered your message to everyone else on that list.

+**//What happens to my account after I graduate?//**
+Previously, ECON email accounts existed for a year after graduation. Since we're moving over to UMD's system, we're now bound by their rules. According to DIT, individuals who graduate have access to their mailbox for 30 days after graduation. After that, the account will be disabled.
+However, mail will continue to flow to your account for a year after graduation. This means that prior to your 30 day mark, you can set a forwarding address in ARES to point to another mailbox of yours. For the remainder of the year, all mail going to @umd.edu (and by extension @econ.umd.edu) will go to where you specify.
