"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:
- Those who still need access to EMC2 to process Journal Vouchers,
Misc. Billing forms or SRF EZForms, and
- Those who use a Dept. ID and haven't converted that ID to a UNIX
version yet. (Individuals who need to convert a Dept. ID, contact access@udel.edu.)
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.
How to use the "MOVEMAIL" program
To use the "MOVEMAIL" program, begin with the following step:
-
On the TSO APPICATION MENU screen, at the "OPTION ===>" prompt, type the
command
tso movemail
- Press the RETURN key.
- 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.
