    I still don't know why they switched systems though....and I don't know the difference between the old Mail and the new Exchange

    Sun's costs $50/year/user (at least for the newer version)

    I think Exchange costs $67/user (note no yearly fee)

    That's a lot of savings over a 3-4 year product cycle.

    No, that's what it costs OU in licensing fees to run it. (At list, anyway.)

    (Of course, they really do charge us, it's just hidden somewhere in the tech fees...)

    for education, i believe Sun only charges per full-time professor, not per user. i wouldn't think those numbers include support for Exchange either

    Re: ou mail

    Didn't I read a week or so ago that you guys just changed your e-mail system?
    If it's Microsoft Outlook Web Access then you have my sympathy. I absolutely freaking hate it.

    It can't be configured for POP access through Thunderbird which is my biggest complaint. Although, it is fully compatible with my Blackberry. But in order to get all the features and use out of it you have to use IE and there's no way I'm using that POS.

    Re: ou mail

    if POP in Thunderbird doesn't work it's because of your implementation, not Exchange.

    IMAP is much better than POP anyway, IMO

    Well, there is IMAP. I could use Outlook apparently but I don't like Outlook so I'll just continue checking it directly from the web.

Accessing your email using IMAP is not as secure as using Outlook in Exchange mode. We strongly recommend that you use Outlook in Exchange Mode, or use Outlook Web Access located at http://mail.baylor.edu

    Re: ou mail

    IMAP and POP should have the same security issues, i'm not sure why they wouldn't just use IMAPS though

    OU mail not working again?? Typical, always had that problem the 2 years I was there. You would think they would have better services to make it not mess up.
