The Cal State L. A. campus network supports the following e-mail software packages via IMAP Server. In the Summer of 1999, Information Resources Management began efforts to unify e-mail and messaging systems used by administrators, faculty and staff. This now enables users to communicate and exchange information under one shared system. There is also a version of Outlook for the Macintosh. Users who access this system using the Microsoft Outlook program are provided access to e-mail, campus address books, personal and professional scheduling and calendar.
Users can also take advantage of an efficient way to share files, documents and reports with others.
Teamwork, projects and collaborative activities will be greatly enhanced. This effort to improve the server side will not phase out the use of other mail client readers used by faculty. A new student email system is due to be released in Winter 2000. This system will be IMAP based and accessible via a web interface. Scholar s Mail for students will be phased out during the calendar year 2000.
