Given Name vs. Preferred Name in Corporate Email

So, My name is Matthew, but I've gone by Matt since kindergarten if not before. (other than when I pissed my mom off) HS and College emails were [email protected], and my personal is [email protected]. My first company repeated the pattern, and the second company and the company that acquired it had [email protected]. We were recently acquired by a larger company that gave me [email protected], and I've lost emails because my sign off is Matt, but my signature signature is Matthew , before my email address.

I don't know if I should ask for a new email, a duplicate with a redirect, or what. Things were handled poorly in tech, and I'm basically a victim of pencil pushers in India.

Sorry, poor interaction between my formatting and the forum software, and I appear unable to edit the original post. companies two and three were M(lastname)@company.com, and the most recent is matt.(lastname)@company.com The Current Signature is Matthew (MI) (Lastname), (Designations)

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
