ResNet and email over the Christmas vacation
ResNet and Windows Vista (previous) :: Weekly usage script ran too early - some problems remain (next)
If you are going home for the Christmas vacation you can still access your email and other computing facilities, from anywhere with an Internet connection.
For email, use webmail or Mulberry both of which are available within and outside the University. For other services, such as electronic library resources, see remote access to University resources or read the remote access leaflet (printed copies available in libraries and at help desks).
If you won't be reading your email you might want to set up a vacation message to let people know this. Please see using SmartSieve to set up or change a vacation message.
If you are staying in your room in University accommodation over the vacation you can carry on using the ResNet connection in your room. You can use Manage My ResNet to transfer your connection to another room, connect a new computer, or other common tasks.
The ResNet help desk will be open over the vacation but with reduced opening hours (details to follow). It will be closed completely for the period between Christmas and New Year, when the rest of the University is also closed.
