Set-up and Use your GSDM Account

Once appointed at GSDM, we set up an official email account for you. Email addresses at GSDM are usually in [email protected] format, but if you want a customized address, it’s possible to set up an email account with only a first name or a last name as well.

Whenever you receive your email account details from us, your email is ready to use. However, before sending your first email, you will have to change the system generated password that we sent to you. So here’s how to start:

- Visit www.gsdmagazine.org/intranet - Go to Check Email - Provide your full email address (i.e. [email protected]) and the system generated password - Now you will see the following tools:

To read your email or to send one, you can just choose one of the tools: Horde, or SquirrelMail. They each have a bit different user interface, but they do the same task. So you can use any of them and anytime. Today you can use Horde and tomorrow experiment a bit with SquirrelMail!

- Go to Change Password icon to change your password - Auto Responders can be used to send an automatic message whenever a new email message arrives in your inbox.

That’s it! Now you can send and read messages from your gsdmagazine email account. If you encounter a problem while setting it up, don’t hesitate to shoot us an email to [email protected]
