Creative Arts has requested an upgrade to CS3 on Creative Arts faculty workstations during the middle of spring term. A CS3 user will be able to import CS2 projects. I propose the student labs be upgraded from CS2 to CS3 over the summer. CS3 Web Design does not include In-Design. This will be a seperate upgrade performed concurrently.

This entry is for PC users only. I will have Joe do a mail blog for Mac users.
Web-based e-mail from a home computer requires that you allow port 81 through your firewall and allow sundown.wou.edu pop-ups. If you are still having trouble getting mail to work on your home computer, you might try installing mozilla Thunderbird.
You can download Thunderbird here. I have appended a 1 at the end of the file name so that our web server allows the file to be downloaded. Once you have downloaded the file, remove the 1 from the end of the file name. Next, use "My Computer" to browse for the file and double click on the file to begin the installation.
For setup instructions please see my earlier blog posted here.
How to configure a non-supported e-mail client at home
The type of incoming server --> imap
The incoming server name
If you have been migrated --> sundown.wou.edu
Not yet migrated --> mail.wou.edu
The outgoing server name or smtp server will be dependent upon
who your ISP is.
Mine is --> smtp.peoplepc.com
If you don’t know your outgoing server name, your provider will
be able to give you this information.
The incoming server user name --> (same as your e-mail userid
when you login at work)
The outgoing server user name --> (not required by my ISP)
try leaving this blank if you don’t know if it is required.
If you can’t send outbound e-mails contact your ISP for the
appropriate userid and password for outgoing mail username
and password.
You will only be able to use secure userid and password
authentication with Communication Express. Any other e-mail
application will pass your userid and password as clear text
over the internet.
An example of how to setup an RSS feed with Mozilla Thunderbird
When it ask for the feed URL, an example that works would be:
http://www.wou.edu/~kernanb/blogs/index.xml or
http://www.wou.edu/~kernanb/blogs/index.rdf or
http://www.wou.edu/~kernanb/blogs/atom.xml
Just replace kernanb with your blog name
UCS will begin supporting two e-mail clients. Messenger Express will be phased out and replaced with Communications Express and Microsoft Outlook 2003. Communications Express is a web-based e-mail/calendar application and Outlook 2003 is a client-based e-mail/calendar client. Both applications play well together. Data stored using either applications will be accessible by the other.
Both applications will be available as each client is migrated to the new domain.
Joe's and Travis's blog has additional information on the new mail system.
