"MOVEMAIL" program available for campus-wide use


What does MOVEMAIL do?

Information Technologies (IT) programmers have created a program called MOVEMAIL, which will automatically move all EMC2 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 programs or the UNIX Pine Mail e-mail program.

Who shouldn't use MOVEMAIL?

If you do not have files on EMC2, do not use the MOVEMAIL program. If you do so, you will only receive error messages because the program will not be able to locate any files. You can bypass this process.

Who shouldn't use MOVEMAIL yet?

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

What to do before using MOVEMAIL

Individuals who can use the MOVEMAIL process immediately, must do the following:
  1. Delete unnecessary EMC2 e-mail because once the EMC2 files are moved, users will not be able to delete files, and
  2. Set up EMC2 to forward their e-mail to their UNIX e-mail account.

How to use the "MOVEMAIL" program

To use the "MOVEMAIL" program, begin with the following step:
  1. On the TSO APPICATION MENU screen, at the "OPTION ===>" prompt, type the command

    tso movemail
  2. Press the RETURN key.
  3. You will see text similar to the following:
    "This program will copy all of your EMC**2 email to a new mail server. Once this process has completed, you will be able to read your EMC**2 email using Pine or Netscape.

    WARNING: Once you have transferred your email, you will no longer be able to use EMC**2.

    Press: The letter C, then ENTER to continue.
    ENTER by itself to exit."

Note: As you work through the process, you will see similar status messages that indicate what is happening.

When the transfer is complete, your mail is immediately accessible on the "emc2.udel.edu" server. See the section below, "Adding the "emc2.udel.edu" server to Netscape and subscribing to its folders" to access your moved mail through Netscape.
