MOVEMAIL process ready for EMC2 conversion

As the campus moves closer to the Oct. 31 deadline to convert from EMC2 e-mail to desktop client e-mail, Information Technologies (IT) is working to make the move easier.

What does MOVEMAIL do?

IT programmers have created a program called MOVEMAIL, which will automatically move all files in an individual's EMC2 account to a UNIX server named "emc2.udel.edu."

After using MOVEMAIL, users will no longer have access to the EMC2 e-mail program on the MVS system.

However, the EMC2 files that are moved will be accessible through desktop client e-mail applications (e.g., Netscape Communicator or MS Outlook) or the UNIX Pine Mail e-mail program.

What to do before using MOVEMAIL

Individuals who can use the MOVEMAIL process immediately, must do the following:

• delete unnecessary EMC2 e-mail because once the EMC2 files are moved, users will not be able to delete files, and

• set up EMC2 to forward their e-mail to their UNIX e-mail account.

Who shouldn't use MOVEMAIL yet?

Although most users can use MOVEMAIL immediately, the following individuals should not use the program yet:

• those who still need access to EMC2 to process Journal Vouchers, Miscellaneous Billing forms or SRF EZForms, and

• those who use a department ID and haven't converted that ID to a UNIX version yet. (Individuals who need to move Department ID e-mail, should contact <access@udel.edu>.)

For more information

Users can find more detailed information about the MOVEMAIL process on the main EMC2 Conversion web page at <http://www.udel.edu/ topics/netscape/index.html>.
