What happens to my e-mail after I graduate?

A couple of months after your graduate from Gettysburg (usually July 1st), your account will be removed from the system. This includes your e-mail, calendar, H drive, and CNAV account. If you would like to save any past e-mail you should save the messages to your computer's hard drive. You can also apply for an alumni cnav account, this will allow you to have a forwarding address from Gettysburg College at USER_NAME@alumni.gettysburg.edu.

I got an e-mail saying I am over my limit, what do I do? 

Gettysburg College students are given 500 MB for their e-mail on the servers. If you go over this limit you will not be able to receive any e-mail and will receive a notification that you are over the allowed limit. A couple ways to clean out your e-mail are to delete any e-mails you don't need, empty the deleted items folder, and delete any e-mails that have large attachments.

You can check to see if you are within the limit by right-clicking on your username in the left-hand toolbar and selecting properties. Then click the folder size button on the window that appears on your screen. If the total size is not below 150,000 KB you are still over the limit.
