Introduction

This page describes my experiences and processes for transitioning my email from the NCSA email system to using CITES Express Email. The reason for this transition was to take advantage of Express Email's imap functionality and advanced SPAM-handling capabilities.

Getting Access To Express Email

If you haven't already done so, you will need to set the password you use to access Express Email using the CITES Password page and selecting Cites Passwords and then logging in with your UIUC Net Id and password.

In my case, I was unable to authenticate to the Express Email web client even after setting my password. Reading the Express Email Getting Started Guide inclidated that some staff may not have Express Email accounts. So I emailed the CITES Help Desk and requested an account.

Test by sending email to yourNetID@express.cites.uiuc.edu

  • ThunderBird's Adaptive Junk filter seems to be way to aggressive and I do not suggest using it. --Vwelch 16:57, 6 December 2007 (CST)

Notes

  • I understand that if ones asks CITES nicely they will increase your quota for free to a few hundred megabytes.
