Webmail is Hampshire's email system, housed on Stout.

Disk Quotas
From THOR:

What's a disk quota?

A disk quota restricts the amount of disk space you can use on the system. There are several hundred user accounts on the system and if there were no disk quotas we would be constantly running out of space. Users tend to consume whatever disk space is available, no matter how much we add. By setting quotas, no single user can fill up all of the disk space and make it unavailable to others.

How big are the quotas?

Please note that students have two disk quotas. One is for your home directory and the other is for your e-mail inbox. The limits are:

What's the difference between a soft limit and hard limit?

Once you cross the soft limit, you can still use disk space (up to your hard limit) for up to a week. The system will send a message warning you you're over the soft limit and it's up to you to delete files and get back under your quota. If you are still over the soft limit after a week the system prevents you from creating any new files (or making any existing files bigger) until you've gone back under the soft quota limit.

'''I need to get under quota! How do I know how much disk space I'm using?'''

There is a web interface for checking your quotas here: http://stout.hampshire.edu/cgi-bin/quota.cgi

Email Forwarding
Do you have a non Hampshire email address that you'd prefer to use to handle your Hampshire email instead? Turn on email forwarding from this really obscure page that lives on the Hampshire Intranet.

Tweaking
From that page you can also set vacation messages, change your spam filter, and other stuff.
