 E-mail
UCR’s central e-mail system, known as E-mail@UCR, is web-enabled
and designed to meet the increasing need of UCR faculty and staff to securely
and easily access UCR e-mail from anywhere in the world. E-mail@UCR also
provides campus users with important tools aimed at lessening the annoyance
associated with “spam” and to help address the growing threat
from computer viruses that are spread via e-mail messages.
Every UCR faculty and staff member is eligible for a free e-mail account,
which is established automatically once a UCR
Net ID has been obtained. Once your account is established, you can
access your e-mail whether you are on-campus or off. You may use Eudora,
Outlook or virtually any other e-mail program to read and send mail. You
may also use the new Webmail interface
to access your e-mail from home or abroad from any internet-connected
computer.
E-mail@UCR features:
- Worldwide web enabled e-mail access from any browser running on a
computer connected to the Internet.
- Server-side anti-virus software that eliminates most viruses before
e-mail is delivered to campus computers.
- Server-side anti-spam software that helps manage spam by ranking
the probability that a particular message is spam.
- Up to 1 gigabytes of disk storage for faculty who wish to store their
messages on a server.
- Up to 250 megabytes of disk storage for staff who wish to store their
messages on a server.
- Anti-Spam Features: Spam
Tagging, Realtime
Blocking Lists (RBL) and Graylisting
(Coming Soon).
e-Calendar
e-Calendar@UCR (a product of Oracle) is a campus-wide electronic calendaring
system offering effective time management. It not only allows faculty
and staff members to keep track of their own schedule, but it also allows
them to schedule both meetings with other e-Calendar@UCR users and the
use of shared resources such as conference rooms, training facilities
and departmental multimedia equipment.
e-Calendar@UCR runs as a client on Windows, Macintosh and Linux systems,
and additionally, it can be used as a web-based application so that you
can keep track of your schedule through your preferred web browser from
anywhere. Your calendar information can also be synchronized with your
PDA and viewed or modified with a web-enabled cell phone.
Every faculty and staff member can have an account on the calendar system,
however, an email request must first be submitted. To request an account,
send an email to the eCalendar administrator: phyllis.bruce@ucr.edu.
In the email supply the First and Last name, the UCR Net ID and department
name of the person requiring access. A reply will be sent with the log
in information once the account has been established. For additional information
on gaining access, please see the Enterprise System Access Instructions
