Support of Telnet Access to Graduate Email Server Will be Ended

The Computer Centre has been providing free email services to HKU graduates on the graduate.hku.hk email server to facilitate communication among graduates as well as with the University. Graduate users have been managing their email on the graduate.hku.hk server using host-based programs such as pine, mail etc., window-based email clients such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Netscape mail etc. or web-based programs such as webmail.

For performance, support and security considerations, the Telnet service for graduate users will be removed from the graduate.hku.hk server starting in June, 2003.

Graduate users will have to use either the webmail service or the window-based email clients (e.g. Outlook, Outlook express, Eudora, Netscape mail etc) to access their email on the graduate.hku.hk server from June 2, 2003. For details on how to use the webmail and configure the window-based mail clients, please consult webmail user guide and windows-based mail client configuration.

For enquiries, please contact our help desk at 2859-2480 during office hours (Mon-Fri: 9:00am to 12:30am, 2:00pm to 5:30pm; Sat: 9:00am to 12:30am) or e-mail to ithelp@hku.hk.
