Reading your SOE email

Once you've been set up with an SOE computer account, you will be able to receive email at the address UNIXlogin@soe.ucsc.edu, where UNIXlogin is the UNIX account name assigned to you. Most of the machines in the lab do not have /var/mail mounted. To access your inbox and have appropriate updating as new mail arrives, there are four options:

  1. ssh to a machine that has /var/mail mounted, such as sundance
  2. change your pine config to point your inbox path to here: inbox-path = {services.cse.ucsc.edu/ssl/novalidate-cert}
  3. set up Thunderbird, read this.
  4. check your mail online: Webmail.
