E-mail Software
Macalester uses the Google Apps for Education suite to provide e-mail and other services to our students, faculty and staff. Google Apps uses a webmail interface, so no local email client is necessary. The following helper applications can assist by adding features that are normally unavailable to webmail systems, such as mailto: link handling and new e-mail notification. If you would like these features, you can install the following helper applications. Google NotifierFor Macintosh computers running OS 10.4 or later, we recommend using the Google Notifier for Mac tool. Google Notifier will allow you to compose an e-mail message by clicking an e-mail link on a web page. It can also notify you of new e-mail or upcoming calendar events in your Google Apps account. After installing the Google Notifier, you will need to enter your e-mail address (username@macalester.edu) and your password to allow it to check your account. Google TalkFor Windows users, we recommend the Google Talk client. Google Talk will allow you to compose an e-mail message by clicking an e-mail link on a web page and notify you of new e-mail in your Google Apps account. It also allows access to Google Chat and several advanced chat features without needing to open a web browser. Once you've installed Google Talk, you will need to log in to it with your Macalester e-mail account and password. Thunderbird E-mail ClientThunderbird is a powerful and easy to use e-mail client. A local e-mail client is not required to use Google Apps, and we strongly recommend you use the webmail interface as your primary method of accessing your e-mail. If you need instructions on how to set up Thunderbird with Google Apps, please contact the Help Desk.
