Web Mail

Effective May 18th, 2008 Squirrel Webmail will no longer be available. Security issues with Squirrel Webmail necessitate its removal. Zimbra Webmail now has a "Standard (HTML)" version that works on slower connections and on Firefox, IE and Safari 3.0. Zimbra Standard will not work on versions of Safari before 3.0.

  • Web mail may be accessed via Zimbra Webmail or Zimbra Webmail Standard.

  • Incoming e-mail using POP settings (Eudora, Outlook, Mac Mail, Thunderbird) uses Secure POP settings. Outgoing e-mail will use an Authenticated SMTP server. Instructions for setting up an e-mail application to use Secure POP and Authenticated SMTP server.

  • Pine is a text-based e-mail application available in CARS/Jenzabar-CX.

Forwarding E-mail: You may also configure your SEU account to forward your SEU e-mail to another e-mail account. When forwarding is started the email retention time on the St. Edward's server is changed to 30 days. This means that only messages from the last 30 days will be retained on the SEU server.

E-mail Retention: E-mail that is not forwarded is stored on the mail server for 365 days. Mail older than 365 days will be deleted.

E-mail Quotas: Mail left on the server may not exceed the following quotas:

  • Students: 100 MB
  • Faculty and Staff: 200 MB

Once your quota has been exceeded mail sent to your account will be returned to the sender with a message that the recipients mail box is over quota. You can check your quota by logging into Zimbra WebMail. The quota status bar isin the upper righthand corner. Instructions for removing mail from the server including setting up Eudora and Outlook to remove mail from the server.

Attachments: The file size limit for attachments is 10 MB. In addition attachments with extensions commonly used to convey viruses are automatically stripped from incoming or outgoing e-mails. These include attachments with the extensions .zip, .exe. and .mdb. See E-mail Safety for a complete list of restricted attachment extensions.

Spam filtering: St. Edward's has implemented a spam filtering application, CanIt. For more information on spam filtering and instructions on setting up e-mail filters for supported e-mail applications see Spam Filtering at St. Edward's University.

Restricted Aliases and E-Newsletters : Aliases or email lists for specific groups of students are available to faculty and staff with permission. See the Restricted Alias and E-Newsletters section for instructions and available aliases. Aliases are also automatically created for every EdShare "share" created by faculty or staff. Class aliases are also created for every class.

E-mail Safety: All e-mail on St. Edward's servers is scanned for attachments which might contain viruses and all university owned computers and all student computers have access to free virus protection. However, new ways of infiltrating your computer's defenses are created everyday. For more information on protecting your computer and your privacy from "phishing", viruses and worms see E-mail Safety.
