INTRODUCTION 1.1. PURPOSE This report identifies electronic mail solutions available toCalbiochem . Background information, critical evaluation, links to further information, and direct contacts with solution providers are included wherever possible.Section nine suggests a plan of action based on careful consideration of this research, an interview with CalbiochemMIS , and other consulting expertise. 1.2. HISTORY Virtual Advantage referred Calbiochem to Kensho for electronic mail intelligence. Based on my understanding of Calbiochem’s needs shared during an Aprilth 4 meeting with Linda Michel and Robert K. Whitemore <[email protected]> in Calbiochem MIS, I proposed to research and report on appropriate e-mail solutions. The outline of proposed research, report and format (hypertext as the preferred version) were approved in e-mail correspondence on April 29th. This report should be available online Monday, May 6th, with notification sent by e-mail to Calbiochem. 1.3. AVAILABILITY This document is available for download from theKensho W3 site in multiple formats. The report will remain online and available through June 1, 1996, after which we reserve the right to archive it to conserve space on our server. Here are theURL ’s to retrieve the report: 1.3.1.

PLANNING Managing all this takes strict standards, comprehensive planning, and ironclad policies.1 —Alice LaPlante, describing a 31,000 user e-mail system at NCR Depending on how things get done in your corporate culture, this documentmay be ‘the plan.’ Great, flip to section nine and dig in. Section nine contains a sample plan that may get Calbiochem up and running with electronic mail. Details in sections one through eight will back you up. No consultant can bring together a comprehensive knowledge of your customer’s needs, your user’s needs, your management’s needs, and your corporate vision as cohesively as you. Please consider any and all advice offered here within the context of the people and politics that make up your organization. 2.1.

  • Email Issues

FIRST, members must not supply CFIC with their company email addresses. That is, companies that they work for. (If you own the company, that's different.) All email on a company's server can be read by any supervisor. All it takes is one pro vaccine activist to get hold of our mobilization alerts to throw a monkey wrench in all of our efforts. Thus, do not supply me with a company email address. We can help you get an alternative to that if necesary. SECONDLY, CFIC needs members' email addresses to supply important information to mobilize parents to do things that advances our goal to enact our legislative reforms of the exemptions from vaccination. That has always been CFIC's sole agenda. CFIC has been able to keep the membership fee to zero because we don't communicate via snail mail. But people change their addresses frequently and forget to update CFIC. When this happens over the years, that member is essentually blind and deaf to us, and is no longer of any value to the coalition---your fellow parents. Therefore, it warrants me to require that members supply CFIC with their most permanent email account. That means the email address of the company in which you are paying a monthly fee for internet access, be it broadband or dialup service.

  • Here Is a Step by Step Example on How to Set up Outlook 2010 for Your Email Address
    Here is a step by step example on how to set up Outlook 2010 for your email address. If you are using some other mail client, (ie. Outlook Express, Microsoft Mail) you can still use the information about the name of the POP3 server and the SMTP server. In any case, make sure that you have created an account that does not leave the messages on the server. Step One: With Outlook open, click on the file tab in the upper left screen area. This is what you will see. Now, click on the +Add Account button. (look at the picture and then page down for step two) Step 2: After you clicked the +Add Account button, this window will pop up. When you first open this window the E-Mail Account option is checked. This is not what we want. Go down to the bottom of the window and check Manually configure server settings or additional server types. Then, click the Next> button at the bottom of the window. (look at the picture and then page down for step three) Step 3: After you clicked the Next > button, this window will pop up. This time, the correct selection is already chosen. If, for some reason it is not checked, please check the Internet E-Mail and then click the Next> button at the bottom of the window. look at the picture and then page down for step four) Step 4: After you clicked the Next> button, this window will pop up.

  • The Cathedral and the Bazaar
    The Cathedral and the Bazaar Linux is subversive. Who would have thought even five years ago (1991) that a world- class operating system could coalesce as if by magic out of part-time hacking by several thousand developers scattered all over the planet, connected only by the tenuous strands of the Internet? Certainly not I. By the time Linux swam onto my radar screen in early 1993, I had already been involved in Unix and open-source development for ten years. I was one of the first GNU contributors in the mid-1980s. I had released a good deal of open-source software onto the net, developing or co-developing several programs (nethack, Emacs's VC and GUD modes, xlife, and others) that are still in wide use today. I thought I knew how it was done. Linux overturned much of what I thought I knew. I had been preaching the Unix gospel of small tools, rapid prototyping and evolutionary programming for years. But I also believed there was a certain critical complexity above which a more centralized, a priori approach was required. I believed that the most important software (operating systems and really large tools like the Emacs programming editor) needed to be built like cathedrals, carefully crafted by individual wizards or small bands of mages working in splendid isolation, with no beta to be released before its time. Linus Torvalds's style of development—release early and often, delegate everything you can, be open to the point of promiscuity—came as a surprise. No quiet, reverent cathedral-building here—rather, the Linux community seemed to resemble a great babbling bazaar of differing agendas and approaches (aptly symbolized by the Linux archive sites, who'd take submissions from anyone) out of which a coherent and stable system could seemingly emerge only by a succession of miracles.
