I will not be setting up forwarding of our district email to your home email over the summer. It will not be necessary since you will be able to access your email from any web browser. I will be shutting down the school email server on Wednesday, May 30. I hope to have email switched over during the day and bring the new server / webmail to life by Wednesday evening. You will maintain the same username and password that you are currently using and hopefully the process will only take a short time and no mail will be lost in the process. To check your mail, simply go to the following web address:
http://willard.k12.mo.us/scripts/webmail.exe
You will be prompted for your username and password. With just a few exceptions, the pattern is:
- Username= first initial, first seven letters of last name
- Password= (email or call me)
I hope to have the new server setup and email moved by Wednesday evening. I will not have mailing lists available for a few days as they will need to be redeveloped.
Feel free to check your mail at the above address anytime beginning Wednesday evening from any internet-connected computer. When you return for school in the fall, you will have the option to use Eudora to “pop” in and get mail or you may continue to use the web email version. There are some differences between Pop mail and Webmail, but they are easy to learn. The biggest difference with Webmail is your disk quota. Since your email resides on the server, you will need to monitor your disk space. As you begin to use all of your disk space, you will need to clean out your folders to create room. Whenever you reach 80% of your disk quota, you will get a message / reminder from the server.
