New Student Email

While the new email program is not tied in with the library I feel the need to try and pass along the word from computer services. Below is an email I received from them today:

Coming June 1, 2009

~~~~WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT~~~~

• You will no longer have a Novell and a GroupWise password. As it is, if you changed your GroupWise password, your Novell password did not change since it is a separate password. When we move to MCmail, you will only have one password for everything. This will make changing passwords and remembering them a bit easier.
• On June 1, everyone's password will be reset to the original four-word password that weinitially issued to you. If you do not remember the original password, you can visit https://www.mc.edu/computerservices/mcnet/account_lookup.php to look up the information again.
• On June 1, your current MC email account will be deleted. If you want to keep your current emails, it is recommended that you visit https://www.mc.edu/computerservices/kb/articles/article.php?id=40 to find out how to back up your current emails to upload into your new MCmail account. Once the accounts are deleted on June 1, emails on the old system will NOT be retrievable, since the old system will be shut down.
• Gmail does not have a feature that will allow us to upload our MC address book for all students to access. You will need to use the online address book at http://www.mc.edu/about/phonebook.php to look up email addresses, etc.
