This might not really be a popular opinion here, but it's really not that hard to create a vpn connection, is it? I understand it might be a bit across the ocean, but here in flanders it's not really that much of an issue imho. Esther-Kristin Lather wrote:
Is this the reason why I couldn't access my mail with Thunderbird yesterday evening from home??? Hey, that's unfair! (Could we throw something at IT?)

Hi all,
IT downstairs has a new policy. The IMAP mailserver is only available from within the UGent VPN or from webmail. I asked to make the SMTP server also available outside the VPN, but apparently they misunderstood me.
Webmail is too much of a hassle and the VPN is too slow over the ocean. As such, I will no longer be checking this e-mail address on a regular basis, maybe just once every few days.
If you want to reach me more reliable: tabeel@broad.mit.edu
cheers, Thomas
