It’s Here! Opt in for LCmail powered by Google begins

January 09, 2012

As of January 9th, we begin transitioning our email services to LCmail, powered by Google.  As well as providing Gmail to Lewis & Clark, we will also offer the availability of other Google products that will enable our organization to better communicate, share, and collaborate.

What will I get?

• 25 Gigabytes of email storage. No more worries about running out of space.
• Your same @lclark.edu email address. Nothing will change in terms of your L&C email address.
• Ability to use the Gmail client on the Web or, if you prefer, continue to use Thunderbird! 
• Google Docs to create and share documents, spreadsheets and presentations online. Keep in mind that we will continue to support Microsoft Office as our primary productivity suite.
• Access your information from anywhere with an internet connection, including your mobile device.
• Instant messaging from right within your inbox & free voice and video chat.
• Available May 2012, Google Calendar to schedule meetings, create events, and share calendars with others.
