- Warning from CITES:
- Accessing your CITES Express Email account through a desktop email client (such as Thunderbird) and the Express Email web interface at the same time can cause some of your messages to be deleted in rare cases.
- This is a known problem and has happened to Library staff. For more detailed information and how to take preventive measures, please visit this page
- LDAP is the acronym for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, a service provided by CITES that can be used with a desktop email client such as Thunderbird. It allows the client to "lookup" another person's e-mail address for you. Click here for instructions on how to set up LDAP in Thunderbird.
- CITES Spam Control Documentation -- CITES can help you control spam in your email.
- Library WebMail (Squirrel Mail) -- Library IT can set up shared email accounts for departments, committees, and other Library groups that need a common account with all mail going to all members of the group.
- Email Aliases -- An email alias is an alternate email address that forwards all the email it receives to your regular email account. An email alias can also be set up to redirect email to multiple regular email addresses. Library IT creates email aliases by request.
