Do not follow these directions until you have received e-mail from the IT Help Center informing you that your e-mail account has been moved to the new Mirapoint server. Netscape 4.7x for Windows If you wish to continue using Netscape 4.7x for e-mail, follow these directions for configuring Netscape 4.7x for use with the new mail.udel.edu server. You'll run a patch that will re-configure Netscape 4.7x for you. Even though you may continue to use Netscape 4.7x for e-mail and web browsing, the University strongly suggests that, instead, you choose one of the following options using newer software: Continue using Netscape 4.7x to browse the web but switch to Mirapoint's Webmail Direct to read, store, and send e-mail. Webmail Direct will work with most web browsers--including Netscape 4.7x. Convert from Netscape 4.7x to Mozilla for web browsing and e-mail. Netscape 7.x for Windows If you are using Netscape 7.x for Windows you'll need to check that your incoming and outbound mail servers are set to mail.udel.edu and, if your e-mail is configured to use mail.udel.edu as an IMAP server, you'll need to remove the "mail/" from the stored folder path on mail.udel.edu. Directions for Netscape 7 users.   SPAM (Junk Mail) Settings, E-mail disk quotas, Vacation messages, Forwarded e-mail As a result of the move to the new e-mail system, there have been some system-wide changes in how certain e-mail procedures work. For example, if your account exceeds your e-mail disk quota, you will be unable to receive any new e-mail. You should log into Webmail Direct by going to https://mail.udel.edu and follow the directions at http://www.udel.edu/topics/e-mail/convert/syswide.html to store suspected SPAM (Junk Mail) in a separate folder (rather than have it come to your inbox), easily view your e-mail disk use, or set a "vacation" message. In addition, if you had used a .forward file to forward e-mail to another e-mail account, you will need to use UD's Network Page ( http:/www.udel.edu/network ) to change or delete any forwarding information.
