What a great idea!
Google Apps is coming to student inboxes starting summer 2009. Google Apps at VCU provides
a VCU gateway to Google’s online services, allowing students to take advantage of Google’s e-mail,
productivity, and collaboration tools while maintaining their “eID”@vcu.edu e-mail name.
Incoming students will be able to access Google Apps at VCU beginning July 1. Current
students will have the choice to migrate to Google or remain with Lotus Notes after the start
of the 2009 fall semester. For more information, please visit http://mymail.vcu.edu.
What do I do now?
All Lotus Notes, IMAP or Mail Anywhere users will continue to access their e-mail as they always have. Faculty and staff will remain with the Lotus Notes service.
If you have not upgraded to the new Lotus Notes 8.5 client, Technology Services encourages you to do so now. The
new client features threaded e-mail conversations, in-line spell checking, Day At-A-Glance view
and many more new features. Please contact the Technology Services help desk for more information.
VCU Mail Anywhere
VCU Mail Anywhere is a Web interface for students, faculty and staff to access their VCU Lotus Notes e-mail and calendar from a browser such as Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. VCU Mail Anywhere requires a Notes account and a Java-enabled browser. It is not necessary to configure your browser to access your mail or calendar. VCU Mail Anywhere runs on multiple servers for redundancy.
