The Information Technology Services Team of the Office of Academic Information Affairs announced that a brand new e-mail service will be launched from Mar. 1.

Among the changes, IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) service will be newly provided alongside POP (Post Office Protocol). POP requires the elimination of messages in the server after their movement; however, IMAP instead allows the users to pick the messages they want to read by reading headlines and copying them. IMAP is considered as a service optimized for smart phone use.

The mail restoration service will be expanded to the Inbox as well as the Sent and Trash boxes.

For another change, POVIS will be made compatible with browsers other than Internet Explorer, such as Firefox, Safari and Chrome.

Lastly, postech.ac.kr accounts will be linked with Gmail accounts. This change will allow users to enjoy more convenient mail management with larger storage.

The project began in September of 2010 and will finally be finished on Mar. 1 after service transition, storage exchange and data migration.
