EMAIL OUTAGE PLANNED FOR DECEMBER 22, 2006 THROUGH JANUARY 2, 2007

All student/adjunct email systems will go down effective noon December 22, 2006 and are schedule to resume on January 2, 2007. It is recommend that students place an AutoResponder message in their email accounts as soon as possible. This would be to advise your regular correspondents of the outage.  After resumption of services, of course, this AutoResponder should be removed.

The process for placing an AutoResponder message is as follows:

New Student/Adjunct Email - email.occc.edu

Login to your email account and click on "Preferences" (located on the left sidebar).  This will take you to the "User Preferences" area. Scroll to the bottom of the page and look for "Auto Responder".

Use this area to set up an automatic response so that each time you receive mail, a prepared message is sent back to the sender. This feature is activated when you enter text in the Message box. (In other words, if the Message box is empty, no automatic response is sent.)

Note: To prevent automatic responses to bulk mailers, an automatic response is not sent if the original message contains the Precedence:bulk header. To prevent automatic responses to list server mailing lists, automatic responses are not sent if the original message contains imailsrv in the mail address.

Old Student Email - po.occc.edu

Login to your email account and, using the “Options and Styles” dropdown, click on "My Options --> AutoResponder".  This will take you to the “AutoResponder" popup area.

Use this area to set up an automatic response so that each time you receive mail, a prepared message is sent back to the sender. This feature is activated when you enter text in the Message box. (In other words, if the Message box is empty, no automatic response is sent.)  Make sure that you click “Save” once you have entered your AutoResponder message.
