NU Email challenges

<p>I know this has been asked before, but I can't find the previous thread.</p>

<p>Someone on here knows how to allow us to see "sent mail," on our NU accounts, but I can't recall how to do it. I have to say, this aspect of NU's email system is archaic.</p>

<p>I don't even want to talk about the NU web site.</p>

<p>Anyway, if someone could help out, I'd appreciate knowing how to access sent mail without sending myself a blind cc.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>If you upgrade to the u.nu email, which runs through Gmail, that will work. I am not sure if they have informed freshmen of this option yet though.</p>

<p>Otherwise, your only option is to start using a mail client- Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc. and make all your mail come through there. You can adjust the settings to save Sent mail, create folders to organize your mail, etc. There are instructions on how to do this on the NUIT website.</p>

I recommend IMAP over POP3 but you can read about the differences there as well.</p>
