PS: Were you doing a search? I get that error message sometimes when I search "Everywhere."

I am getting the same error

1/12/2009 10:09:32 AM

^^ No, but I did get my account moved to a new sever lest week, which apparently sucks huge amounts of cock.

Well, they're obviously mistaken.

As an aside, until a few years ago, I had a POP account at NCSU.

1/12/2009 10:16:19 AM

just checked my mail- working fine...

1/12/2009 10:21:48 AM

It must be a small number of accounts. All I wanted to do was print off a syllabus. QTF?

Update: I am calling the Help Desk right now to see what they can do.

[Edited on January 12, 2009 at 10:25 AM. Reason : fail desk]

1/12/2009 10:22:42 AM

haha i had to call the help desk (i have their number memorized now) about 10 times last week




shit finally started working right yesterday (it's kind of a problem when you have an online class and you can't access vista)

1/12/2009 10:27:29 AM

you asshole

1/12/2009 10:29:00 AM

Who's an asshole and for what?

i IM'd you and you're posting on here

1/12/2009 10:31:09 AM

eh

that's what you get for using webmail

1/12/2009 11:14:56 AM

^ It's NCSU policy.

http://www.ncsu.edu/it/essentials/email_messaging/address-changes-2007.html

You can, of course, forward e-mail from an NCSU address to your preferred e-mail address.

1/12/2009 11:21:11 AM

Like I said

...that's what he gets for using webmail.

1/12/2009 11:21:57 AM

and you don't have to use webmail

duh

but yeah, forward your shit to gmail or something, much better imo

1/12/2009 11:23:12 AM

I've never had a problem before today. So, I don't see what the big hoopla is about with me using webmail. I don't use it exclusively as my personal e-mail account.

1/12/2009 11:24:29 AM

^^ and ^ If you're an NCSU student, you do--for coursework. If a professor or TA isn't doing so, they are in violation of policy.

In any event. . .

1/12/2009 11:30:26 AM

hooksaw, you continually give more evidence that you are a fucking moron

1/12/2009 11:44:59 AM

Speaking of technical fuckups

1/12/2009 12:01:51 PM

^^ Dude, STFU. I have presented actual "evidence" that what I posted is correct--you have presented your big metaphorical mouth.

Have you ever received a class roster or policy directives for educators from NCSU admin? NO?! Then, as I indicated, shut. . .the fuck. . .up.

1/12/2009 12:07:50 PM

1/12/2009 12:27:40 PM

hooksaw, you're being an idiot. the policy requires that university business related e-mails will ONLY be sent to your unity account, which you can then have forwarded anywhere else.

it does NOT say that you have to use webmail.

please take some time to read the items you link.

1/12/2009 12:31:31 PM

^ JESUS CHRIST, YOU PEOPLE ARE FUCKING STUPID!!!1 I DON'T NEED TO READ THE POLICY--I KNOW IT! YOU READ I--I POSTED IT FOR YOU!

TRY TO FOLLOW ALONG:

1. IF I AM AN INSTRUCTOR IN COURSE X, I NOW WILL SEND COURSE-RELATED E-MAIL ONLY TO YOUR NCSU WEBMAIL ACCOUNT.

2. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO "USE" WEBMAIL, YOU MUST FORWARD YOUR E-MAIL FROM WEBMAIL TO YOUR PREFERRED E-MAIL ADDRESS. THIS MEANS YOU'RE USING WEBMAIL AS AN INTERMEDIARY--YES, USING!

3. THIS IS PART OF THE EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM TO PROTECT YOUR DUMBASSES!

Methods of Emergency Notification and Communication

Quote :

"Broadcast email: A broadcast email goes to everyone who has a university email account."

http://www.ncsu.edu/emergency-information/notification-methods.php

4. HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED THAT ALMOST WITHOUT EXCEPTION YOUR CLASSMATES IN LISTSERVS FOR YOUR COURSES ARE SHOWING AS HAVING NCSU E-MAIL ADDRESSES?

5. THOSE WHO AREN'T REQUIRING NCSU E-MAIL ADDRESSES TO BE USED IN THEIR COURSES ARE OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH POLICY! IT'S NOT A DEBATE--IT'S A FACT!

Or maybe some of you are just trolling.

1/12/2009 12:50:53 PM

my email gets forwarded to my gmail, and when i send email it looks like it is coming from my ncsu address

1/12/2009 12:54:56 PM

^^ Still wrong.

1/12/2009 1:00:26 PM

^^ Okay, so I show you the very tool you use, WHICH IS INDEPENDENT OF WEBMAIL, and you tell me I'm wrong?

Absence of correct information makes you the troll, sir.

hooksaw is one of those pedantic soap box debate club kids, you can safely ignore him, I am not sure he has ever said anything of consequence

1/12/2009 1:03:31 PM

who said i wasn't having fun proving him wrong?

1/12/2009 1:06:52 PM

^^ Just post the links for us to all of your brilliant posts.

^ So, the NCSU router is not part of the e-mail system? You won't get any e-mail without one.



You've proved nothing except that you're a troll.


[Edited on January 12, 2009 at 1:38 PM. Reason : PS: ]

1/12/2009 1:23:36 PM

WEBMAIL IS NOT A ROUTER. JESUS CHRIST DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WEB APPLICATION AND A PIECE OF NETWORKING EQUIPMENT?

NCSU's e-mail system has multiple servers. The mail relays serve to autoforward things if you have a mail forward in place. That is 100% independent of Webmail and even your own specific mail server.

Look, if you wanna argue about it, try not to pick on someone that doesn't know anything about it, ok? I can do this all day if you wanna.

I'm not going to be drawn into an absurd argument over terminology.

1/12/2009 1:44:40 PM

No, he doesn't.

1/12/2009 1:46:26 PM

Yes, he does.

soo... as I was saying, pedantic and inconsequential

1/12/2009 1:51:15 PM

^ Still waiting on those links to all of your consequential threads. And "pedantry" is in the mind's eye of the beholder.

1/12/2009 1:55:12 PM

services still screwed up...

1/12/2009 2:13:29 PM

ahahahah

dude, "Webmail" is nothing more than a (lightly) modified squirrelmail

YOU CAN GET TO YOUR FUCKING EMAIL IN A NUMBER OF WAYS, DIPSHIT

[Edited on January 12, 2009 at 2:17 PM. Reason : its like posting a topic "WTF is wrong with Outlook?"]

1/12/2009 2:15:53 PM

If you knew how email works he is wrong, and right.

The problem is on the server, which is behind NCSU's routers. Its kinda funny as theres like 50 cases right now and counting on this with the help desk. And they are running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to figure out what is wrong with it. Its only if you are on uni44map email server (look on sysnews-> account info to check which server you are on).

1/12/2009 2:25:29 PM

no, i get the fact that theres a problem with email on the unity servers

i guess I just fucking hate hooksaw and wanted to use this opportunity to debate verbage

you know, cause i really don't have much else to do.
