IT Moves Student Email
IT plans to upgrade the student email system, discarding the current Net-mail system and moving students over to our established GroupWise system. The Netmail system has not been updated by the manufacturer in some time and the features provided by it are inadequate. The GroupWise web interface is superior, with significantly more features. The new system should also supply considerably more mail storage space to students. Besides providing a better service the change will eliminate some problems we have experienced with having separate email systems, such as conflicts with student workers who require a mailbox on both Netmail and GroupWise. Student worker GroupWise accounts need no longer expire at the end of each term, and students will be able to receive email at the @uca.edu domain.
