Announcement : Webmail Upgrade
Central Computing Services (CCS) will be upgrading the Webmail system on Friday, November 27, 2009.
Work is scheduled to start at Friday, November 27th at 12:00 am and is expected to be completed by Saturday, November 28th at 8:00 am. During the upgrade, you will not be able to login or use the Webmail system.
All email messages sent to your UST email account during this downtime will be held until the transition to the new server and upgrade has completed and then will be delivered, so nothing will be lost.
Exchange users will be able to send and receive email messages between UST Exchange users while all other email messages will be queued until the completion of the upgrade then delivered.
This upgrade will provide several improvements, including upgraded server hardware and software, additional storage, and an all new webmail interface. Some of the features of the new Webmail client include:
- Message Preview Pane
- Drag-and-Drop Message Management
- Tabbed Message Viewing & Editing
- Enhanced Rich Text Message Editor with Spell Check
- Additional Anti-Spam Features
