How do I access my e-mail?
Your e-mail address will be in the format of username@coastal.edu. You
can use your e-mail from any computer connected to the Internet anywhere
in the world. Open a web browser (eg: Internet Explorer or Firefox) and
type in (for Faculty/Staff) http://outlook.coastal.edu, or (for Students) http://mail.coastal.edu.
Enter your username and password to access your mail. The mail web interface
is easy to use use and contains many conveniences such as folder creation,
address lists and spell check.
Do I have to use the "web interface" to access
my e-mail?
You do NOT have to use Coastal's e-mail web interface to access your mail.
You may set up popular e-mail clients such as Outlook and Outlook Express
to access mail. Your IRC will be able to provide
technical support on configuring an e-mail client.
Is there a limit to the amount of e-mail I can store?
All faculty and staff have an e-mail storage quota of 750mb. Should an employee reach this quota, an e-mail will be sent
notifying the employee that the excess e-mail must be moved or deleted.
There is a fourteen day period for cleaning mailboxes once the quota has
been reached. After the grace period, the account will be locked and the
employee will not be able to send e-mail. If locked out of their mailbox,
the employee should contact his/her IRC.
To make sure your account does not experience a quota lockout, you should
regularly clean out your Mailbox. Please delete any unnecessary messages
from both your Inbox and their Sent Items folders. E-mails with attachments
take up a lot of storage space. Attachments should be saved to your local
machine.
Student e-mail quotas are 135mb (85 Inbox, 50 folders). Alumni e-mail quotas
are 50mb combined Inbox and Folders.
Is there a limit to the size of attached files that
I can send and recevie?
Yes. Using Outlook you can send files totaling 10MB and Webmail 2MB. Due
to the resources available in our mail system these limits must be imposed.
You can use our FTP server to share larger files with other users. Follow these instructions:
FTPing a large attachment (in lieu of sending as an e-mail attachment)
Instructions:
- Go to START->ACCESSORIES->WINDOWS EXPLORER
- In the Address bar, type ftp://ftp.coastal.edu/to_ccu
- Copy (or drag-n-drop) file to directory, noting the filename and extension
- E-mail recipient the following link--- ftp://ftp.coastal.edu/to_ccu/filename.ext
FTP Example: You wish to upload a file called test.doc to send to a colleague. The link that you would send via e-mail to the colleague is ftp://ftp.coastal.edu/to_ccu/test.doc. NOTE: the link is case-sensitive.
Retrieval Example: A colleague has put a file called test.doc in the to_ccu directory.
When the recipient accesses the link ftp.coastal.edu/to_ccu/test.doc, a download window will opn to save the file locally.
