A proper name e-mail address at CU will generally have the form Firstname. It is an inevitable result of some of the other changes that have already happened in e-mail use both locally and globally. A pattern supporting the use of proper name e-mail addresses is the growing number of correspondents on the network and in the typical extent of peoples' communication. Increasingly, users are shifting the locations where they access their e-mail.
Several examples are prominent on campus.
Yet a third example is a student who has an account on ucsu, but who is working for an extended period on a faculty member's workstation as part of a project. The student could operate e-mail from this machine without having to inform users to direct mail to this machine. The student's proper name e-mail address would appear as the header regardless of where the student was sending mail from. Proper name e-mail addresses will be available on a trial basis beginning in November. Many users will shift to spot, the faculty and staff e-mail server.
