A
new version of MIX (Mountaineer Information Xpress) is
now in production. The
New MIX will offer enhancements such as automatic inclusion of
WVU news and calendar listings, improvements to e-mail functionality, and
improved performance and reliability.
The STAR system is also in full production. e-Campus is in production. If you experience problems with any of the systems, please call the HelpDesk at 304-293-4444 and write to mix@mail.wvu.edu .
On the new system, you will only be able to set up autoforwarding of mail to the following domains:
- mail.wvu.edu
- hsc.wvu.edu
- rcbhsc.wvu.edu
This is to ensure that mail is delivered to students and faculty in a prompt and reliable manner. Some students had previously forwarded to outside accounts. WVU will no longer support that option. Faculty, of course, still have the choice to forward to their GroupWise accounts. The University is compelled to ensure the some documents such as the notice of the Clery Act, the drug and alcohol use policy, etc. are delivered to students, There were also many instances of lost mail due to full forwarding accounts, especially if an account was spammed. This is your University account and the primary reason that you have it is to support communication about your academic and student life experience here at WVU.
Recent graduates will retain their MIX accounts for 6 months after graduation. If you are a recent graduate and wish to have your mail forwarded to an outside account, you will need to call the HelpDesk at 304-293-4444 to make this request after June 1, 2007. You will need to provide your birthdate, WVU ID, and graduation date so that we can confirm your information before setting the autoforwarding option. This option is only open to recent graduates.
