As most of you know I have been working on moving our mail server to new hardware. The process is complete but there are a few changes with the way it has been implemented.
When you log into your web mail you will now see the logon page below. You will still enter your user name and password as you always have. The additional settings below are just added features that will modify how your browser interacts with the mail server. Under client you have Premium and Basic. Premium means you will get all the 
bells and whistles in your email. Basic is a stripped down feature set of the web interface intended to be low bandwidth for people who do not have high speed connections. The security setting will only determine how long your session will last. If you select Public or shared computer your log in will only last 15 minutes. This is designed to protect your email if you forget to log out and are accessing it on a machine that is also accessible to others. If you set it to Private it will leave the session open for 24 hours or until you log out.
Also when you come to school for the first time you will notice that your Outlook will not connect. This is because it was initially set up to ask the old server (which is no longer there) for your email. Fortunately the fix is easy (Make sure you exit Outlook before you begin).
1.) Navigate to start --> control panel --> mail
2.) Select Data Files
3.) Click Add --> click OK --> click OK --> click OK (finished image below)
4.) Select the email tab
5.) Select your email account --> click remove
6.) Once it has been removed click new
7.) The wizard should complete with little to no intervention to set up the new account
8.) Once the new account is finished close out of every thing in the control panel and launch Outlook
9.) Your mail should begin to populate
10.) In Outlook navigate to Tools --> Account Settings --> Data Files tab
11.) Select the personal folders option and the select remove.
12.) Finished!!! If you have any problems, please contact the helpdesk ext. 289 or 388-2289.
Why backup and restore? 
Moodle". Clicking on either of these options will present you with this dialog box. 
Here you will enter the web address of Moodle (http://moodle.sjabr.org) and your user name and password. You are also going to want to check the "Remember my user name and password" box so you don't need to log in every time. Upon successfully authenticating, you will notice that the plug-in will create a file structure of all your courses with all your documents. It’s easy to add new folders at this point (much faster than using the Moodle file structure interface). Now you can simply open Office files and save them to your Moodle courses, or open Office files saved to your Moodle to edit them. Now what used to take about eight steps is reduced down to three or four.
No doubt most people have heard of Apple's new device the iPad. Many websites are already redesigning their content to make it more "iPad friendly" and Google is no exception. The image to the left is a preview of the re-imagined Gmail interface but just because Google had the iPad in mind doesn't mean it doesn't appeal to convertible tablet users. I personally like the simplified, stripped down view and it works very well with the new touch screen tablets SJA will receive this summer.
