Several email changes took place over the winter break that affect all university email accounts. You may have noticed that your email address appears as username@mst.edu.
With your new email account come a couple of new, improved features:
New email quota – Everyone on campus now has a mailbox quota of 1 GB.
New spam filtering – A new spam filter has been activated that will decrease the amount of spam you receive in your Inbox. This issue has created more questions thus far than any other. If you have questions, read the separate post regarding spam.
