Email service phaseout on pangea
Last revision August 9, 2007 As described in news items, email service will end on pangea by November 1, 2007, and email forwarding will end on June 30, 2008. About 230 people with active pangea accounts are not using pangea as an email server, where their messages are received and stored. Instead, these people are already forwarding all email sent to their pangea email address to another email account. Not sure if you are receiving email on pangea or forwarding it elsewhere? Check the list showing accounts currently accessing email on pangea. If you are forwarding email sent to your pangea account, there is nothing you need to do immediately. You need to notify correspondentcorrespondents sending email to the pangea address to start sending mail directly to your main address before June 30, 2008, when email forwarding from pangea will end. Follow this link for some ideas to help you manage this address updating. You should make it easy for people to find your main email address by updating your entries in the School of Earth Sciences personnel directory (click on the login link in the upper right to edit your entry) and the Stanford Directory. If you are active at Stanford, people will expect to reach you with an @stanford.edu email address. Whether you use that as your main email account, or forward it to an outside account, make an email alias in the Stanford Directory of the form Firstname.Lastname@stanford.edu. This is often easier for others to remember than your actual SUNet ID. You can change your pangea email forwarding at any time to switch to another account, until forwarding ends on June 30, 2008. But you cannot go back to receiving email on pangea, even if there is still time before email service ends on November 1. Once all your correspondents have switched to your new address, then you should completely disable forwarding from pangea. This will keep random "spam" messages from being forwarded. In any case, no message marked as possible spam by the pangea spam checker will be forwarded. To change forwarding, or disable it altogether, use the email management module of the pangea account maintenance web server.
