Viability of Old E-mail Addresses
E-mail Addresses for People
Official e-mail addresses previously assigned
to individual members of the UT-Houston community will continue to function
for two years after May 1, 2000. E-mail
sent to an old address will be forwarded to the new address.
Consider the following example:
-
a person's former e-mail address was "jdoe@girch1.med.uth.tmc.edu"
-
her new address is "Jane.E.Doe@uth.tmc.edu"
-
mail sent to "jdoe@girch1.med.uth.tmc.edu" is automatically be sent to
"Jane.E.Doe@uth.tmc.edu"
Thus, there is no immediate need to order new letterhead, business cards,
etc. or otherwise notify others of one's change of e-mail address. It is
recommended, however, to start the notification process since societies
and other entities often still updated their directories only once a year.
E-mail Addresses for Existing Groups, Roles, Etc.
Organizational entities within the University have maintained non-individual,
E-mail accounts on numerous UT-Houston mail servers. These entities
may decide to deactivate many or all of these servers. If an email address
is for an account on a deactivated server, then
-
a new account for the entity will need to be created on the new integrated
e-mail system,
-
e- mail addressed to the old address will be forwarded to the new account,
-
the new account will also have a new "standard" address,
-
recipient lists can be maintained by group administrators designed by the
responsible organizational unit..
