http://www.statenews.com Lack of storage, basic text features and a clunky interface — these are some of the complaints leveled against MSU’s e-mail system. But all of those issues could disappear if plans being explored by university officials to overhaul or eliminate the system come to fruition. en-us Foundry4 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 20:39:29 -0400 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 12:46:00 -0400 webmaster@statenews.com http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/12833/view The logic of this article is nuts! The MSU web-based email client is clunky, therefore let’s NOT support email for students period! Really?? What about finding a quote from someone who thinks that text based email is fine, and remembers It’s too bad that all of the students sporting slick laptop computers here on campus don’t have the technical savvy to configure their onboard email clients for their msu.edu accounts. Outlook? Mac Mail? Eudora? Hello?!!!??!? Is the university seriously considering this? C’mon!

A simple key word search on the MSU homepage will tell you how to do this. There, no more problems with text only e-mail.
