New Student Email Coming

Madison College students will soon see their e-mail service user interface upgraded to Microsoft Outlook Web App 2010. The changeover is scheduled to occur January 24th, 2010.

Madison College librarians will be helping students at all campuses transition to the new system by offering workshops, one-on-one appointments and a comprehensive web site filled with frequently asked questions and much more. That web site will be launched within the week. The Libraries’ Student Computer Help Desk staff will also be available for assistance on-site and via phone, email, text message and chat.

Highlights of the new email:

Storage space for student e-mails will increase to 1 GB of storage and a maximum message size (including attachments) of 50MB, allowing you to send and receive larger files with your student account.

Experience using an email system that is widely used in businesses and schools.

You will have access to advanced e-mail organization, search, communication and social networking features.

Access to a global address list for students, faculty and staff.

You will be able to easily access their e-mail account from their mobile devices.
