Migration and
SquirrelMail
Notice:
Our major hardware upgrade was successfully completed on Tuesday
January 30th.
However, you have to make this fix:
SquirrelMail normally displays those folders in your home
directory that you created using SquirrelMail and remembers
which ones they are. This information didn't make the trip so
you have to go into your home directory and point them out
again.
Fortunately SquirrelMail includes an easy way to do that:
- Click
on Folders at the top of a SquirrelMail page.
- At
the bottom of the Folders page is a box labeled
'Unsubscribe/Subscribe' - you can't see it until you pull
it into view using the scroll bar on the right.
- Nothing
is subscribed at first so click on each folder that had
been in your original set of S/M folders and then click on
the 'subscribe' button. (Hold the ctrl button while
clicking to select more than one folder.
- Click
on (Check mail) at the top of the Folders listing
to refresh the listing of the folders. It should be back
to normal now.
Other
Notes:
- Any
reference to the machine name 'mercury' in any email is
now being aliases (automatically changed) to 'earth' but
our system administration people would prefer that
everyone start to phase it out whenever the opportunity
presents itself. They'd like to remove the 'mercury' alias
within a year. If you use myName@mercury.ccil.org try to
remember to leave off the 'mercury'. Don't substitute
'earth' - it's not necessary.
- SSL
certificates for web sites and email may also change. If a
pop-up asks whether you want to accept this new/changed
certificate, just say "yes, I accept the new
keys" since you know that this change is being made.
(Any other time, security conscious users should verify
that they are not the victim of a
"man-in-the-middle" attack that is falsely
presenting the pop-up in order to take them to a phishing
site.)
- A
few users login via 'ssh'. They will get a pop-up saying
the the host key has changed. The pop-up will probably
list the new keys to the users and ask them if these new
keys are correct / acceptable.
Please let us know at help@ccil.org or (610)431-2673 if
you have any problems.
Thank you, CCIL and LinuxForce
