• Managing and saving e-mail to your desktop computer's hard drive

  When you view your e-mail using a desktop e-mail client (e.g., Netscape Messenger, MS Outlook, etc.), the desktop client works in conjunction with the central e-mail server ("mail.udel.edu" also called "copland.udel.edu").

  You will be able to manage your e-mail more efficiently if you understand how the central e-mail server and a desktop e-mail client work together.

  An e-mail "server" receives the e-mail sent to you and the e-mail you send to others. A desktop e-mail "client" instructs the server to deliver e-mail sent to you and to deliver e-mail you send to others. And, the client provides tools to save, organize, and manage your e-mail.

  Because the central e-mail server is shared by thousands of users, you are allocated a limited amount of space (also called "quota"). If you exceed your quota, you may not be able to access your e-mail until you reduce the amount of space you are using. You should always delete unnecessary e-mail. Then, use the client application to save the e-mail you want to keep to your desktop computer's hard drive.
