Title: requesting a help with webbased e-mail > outlook.
Post by: davidoffbeat on June 07, 2005, 01:01:59 PM
I thought maybe someone here could help me, if its possible at all:

I go to school/work at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, we have some dumb web based email system called "E-spartan" (e-spartan.uncg.edu).

Well I work in the University Relations office with web developers, photographers, writers, editors, etc. so we send alot of e-mails back and forth. Everyone says theres not  way for students to use lotus/outlook.

Im sure theres is probaby a way but i need to find out all the server info, incoming/outgoing all that jazz...

Anyone know how to figure that out?

Ask someone at the uni you work for.  Or do you plan to use this information to try and gain access to the mail server???

the employees have some program that has all the info included already.
they were told by whoevers in charge that it's not possible for students to do it (i dont believe that)

Im using a mac here at work, its such a pain!
I have to use safari (which isnt my default browser) go to e-spartan.uncg.edu, enter username and password, open some stupid text based version of the website because the regular version is not supported by Mac and then scroll to the bottom to look at new mail. (and i have no notification program so i have to do this every 10-15 mins to see if i have mail)

I just want outlook to work or SOME kind of notification program.

catwritr, that link didnt seem to work, it just opened up the forum index page.

No.

I'm not helping you bypass your university's preordained setup. If your university's tech department won't help you, neither will I. I don't care if Safari isn't your browser of choice. I don't care if you have to use a Mac. I just don't care.

Yes, I can clearly see your post in the New Geeks On The Block, where you introduce yourself and actually contribute to the conversations before jumping and asking questions.

Oh the wit, I am in awe of you. I don't know if I should take that as an insult or if you were trying to be funny. Were you trying to make a joke or just to insult our "UB3R 1337 H4K3R SKi115" so that we have to "prove our worth"?

If anything will get people to help you with your problem, it is by goading them with a challenge the likes of which have never been seen before. (Except from a 3rd grader who dares his best friend to eat a worm. Better make that 6th grader, the schools are getting worse so I don't think they could spell 'worm' much less identify what one is.)

You know, it is possible that the place may only allow internal pop/smtp mail protocols. They may very well be blocking port 25 so no one can check it from outside using that method.

That said, if you would go please over to the new people forum and introduce yourself (And yes, you ARE new even though you made an account the 18th) maybe people will say "Hello, Welcome" and who knows what.

I'm not a representative, just a single person.

Then why in the world would they require students to use web email?
Title: requesting a help with webbased e-mail > outlook.
Post by: davidoffbeat on June 07, 2005, 03:26:44 PM
yea i searched around pop/imap is "disabled" at the server, so i guess theres no other way around it?

Post by: Chris on June 07, 2005, 03:35:47 PM
There is no other way around it, period. If it is not running on the server, there is no way you are going to be able to utalize it if it is not there.

Also, they may require students to use the web-based email to avoid questions like this constantly, as well as people making stupid mistakes. Imagine someone uses Outlook, and then after it downloads all their mail for them, it then deletes it from the server. That same student then goes to school the next day and logs in via the web-based portal and expects to see his or her email sitting there, but it isn't because it is all gone since it is saved on their other computer. Granted, there are ways to configure most email clients to leave the mail on the server permantly, every X days, or only when it is deleted from the program's trash.

Basically, it is pretty much disabled to avoid confusion and other non-sense questions.

yea i guess. i have my gmail account configured so i have to delete it from thunderbird and from gmail.com. but other people could easily be confused if they didnt know what was going on...

But I've also seen problems like kids forgetting to check their e-mail and missing important info from their teacher because they have no type of notification.

i e-mailed tech services and asked if they could move me to the faculty server, hopefully i'll be able to.

thanks for your help chris.

and for those others, that wasnt so bad was it?
if you have the time to flame people every other post/thread about asking for help...why dont you just take a few extra minutes, be nice, and help them if possible. jeez.

on that note, id be glad to help people with their problems if i can.
Title: requesting a help with webbased e-mail > outlook.
Post by: hackess on June 07, 2005, 03:56:33 PM
Why?

BECAUSE THIS ISN'T A FUCKING TECH SUPPORT FORUM.
Title: requesting a help with webbased e-mail > outlook.
Post by: Crystalmonkey on June 07, 2005, 03:59:13 PM
It wasn't about hating/flaming you, it was about the people who over the past couple of weeks have been randomly making a member name, ask a question about technology (Because this is a forum for Geeks so this must be a tech support forum, after all aren't Geeks supposed to be willing to help everyone with a computer problem to show off their knowledge?  :roll: )

The people that have come on here don't post in the New Users area, they leave right after they get an answer, and if they are flamed/insulted they fight back because WE must be the bad guys who aren't willing to help them and share, conveniently forgetting their lack of any courtesy.

And I don't know the future, I don't think most of the people on here know the future, so there is no way to know whether the posters will stick around after they ask or if they will just bugger off, regardless of whether they say they will or not.

Post by: hackess on June 07, 2005, 04:39:07 PM
If "they" took 5 minutes to read around the forum to get a feel for it, search for whatever they're seeking an answer to, maybe read the most recently active threads...they'd get that this isn't where you go to get answers to your questions.

We have no problems helping regulars, but we've been getting a veritable assload of new members who register and immediately expect us to help them. It's irritating. Don't expect us to kowtow to you or them.

Seriously, what kind of sentence is that? Not only does it sound like a sentence a five year old would come up with on Kids Say the Darndest Things, but three commas? (I'm almost positive thats not a list) I'm no english major, but I'm pretty sure thats a run-on or something.

Post by: reimero on June 08, 2005, 07:59:08 AM
David, David, David...

More funny less whiney pls.  Seriously.  You came in assuming we are what we actually aren't and asking for a "service" we don't provide.  Being a geek doesn't mean we eat, breathe, live and generally allow our lives to revolve around computers and technology.  If anything, it indicates something of a common point or set of points of reference which allows us to share in a particular brand of humor that lesser mortals cannot appreciate.

Here's the actual breakdown of how things happened:

You> I'm having email problems.  *googles* ooh... geeks!  They can help me!  *registers* *posts* OMGHELP!!!!
Us> Uh... we're not a tech support forum and you didn't follow the rules about posting.  You are the weakest link.  Goodbye.
You> You guys are mean and not geeks!  You should change $x $y and $z!! *stalks catwritr*
Us> *signs you up for every piece of junk mail known to mankind* Thank you for playing, have a nice day.  :evil:

It's not our fault you didn't scope out the place before posting.  It's not our fault you ignored the message that WE ARE NOT A TECH SUPPORT FORUM.  It's not our fault you neglected to post in the new members' area.  We are a community.  Communities have rules.  Believe it or not, we DO get new members who come by, figure out what we are and follow the rules (this mostly involves being literate.)  And these members are welcomed with open arms.

We don't suffer smacktards lightly around here.  And you've demonstrated you're exactly that.

You suggested we change the name of the Geekery if we didn't want people coming here for tech help. You, and all those others who've done so and will continue to do so, assume that because we're "geeks," we're veritable repositories of technologic information.

How can you get on us for assuming you can help when you search for the word geek in google and come up with a list of online technology resources and computer how to's.

The fact is, the term USUALLY describes computer smart people, people that USUALLY lend a helping hand. SO if it's such a huge bothersome problem, change your name.

Here's a crazy idea.  

How about by READING a bit on a forum before just assuming it's for support?

Because it's only a "huge bothersome problem" for a select group of illiterates.

Most of the regulars here managed to figure out the difference just fine.  But some never do.

Once again you prove you are slightly stupid, WHAT I SAID WAS: The post was not there when I started my account, I read the stickys then, but did not check when I came back to actually post.

It's been done on every message board ever, not to mention in this thread.

SO STOP TALKING LIKE THAT.
Especially when you're trying to make fun of people for using it, when they dont even come close to sounding like that...


Don't tell him what to do.  Xolik has more funny in his little finger than you have had in 22 posts combined.

How about by READING a bit on a forum before just assuming it's for support?


How about READING the rest of my post where it says I joined and there was no topic saying it was'nt tech support.

Here's a crazyyyyy idea, contribute something new to the thread! Everything you said has been said several times already.


And yet you still don't seem to get it.

Quote
YES MOST PEOPLE ASSUME.
NO THEYRE NOT HERE TO READ OTHER THREADS
DON'T GET MAD BECASE YOU'RE TOO STUCK UP AND LAZY TO HELP THEM


If people can't be bothered to even read a single thread before making an account and demanding help, why the FUCK should we give a shit about them?

Commence with your boring, repetitive demonstration of you continuing to not get it now, little boy.

It was funny for a while, but it's wearing thin now.

I got your "point" long ago, you're the one not getting mine here it is again with a rough example:

Because you eat at Mcdonalds 4 times a week you've become a lard ass.
You don't want to be a lard ass.
But you continue to eat at Mcdonalds 4 times a week.
Therefore you continue to be a lard ass.
You have no room to complain.

Because of your name you're often mistaken as tech support geeks.
You don't want to be tech support geeks.
But you dont want to change your name.
Therefore you continue to be mistaken as tech support.
You have no room to complain.

And P.S. stooping to name calling just proves you're immature and have a shitty argument "little boy", and the fact that a thread on a message board upsets you, well..pathetic.

So because other people are rude, careless, demanding, and patently stupid, that's somehow our fault?

No, I think the person still not "getting it" is you.

You're a boogerhead.

And I referred to you as a "little boy" because that's how you're behaving.

Like a whining, selfish little boy who refuses to listen to anything he doesn't like to hear.

And my argument is sound.  It's just frustrating having to repeat myself numerous times and STILL have the person with whom I am arguing not understand that he's completely wrong and has his head up his ass.

You showed the links to all the things that came up in a search on google for geek's.  Have any of these other links helped you any?

Here's a novel idea for you.

Type in tech support outlook and whatever other search terms might seem to suit your needs.  Clearly geek isn't the correct term.

Dimwit.

And selfish? Because I asked for help?
You're the one who claims to be uber smart geeks but refuse to help anyone.

And I did listen to your point, and I countered it and gave arguments against it...and then you repeated it again...and I gave more reasons why you're an idiot...and you repeated it again.

I don't recall anyone making a legitimate claim to be an ubersmart geek.

See, all you're doing is telling us that we're something we're not. We're denying those allegations, and, in no uncertain terms, telling you you're a moron for not being able to understand plain English.

We are geeks, but being a geek doesn't necessarily have to do with tech support and computers. It is you, kid, who's fucked up here. You registered at a forum, didn't bother to read around, and then expected us to help you.

Never judge a book by its cover; never judge a website by its URL.

Post by: reimero on June 08, 2005, 03:32:36 PM
So all geeks = computer geeks.  This includes band geeks, math geeks, science geeks...
All computer geeks do tech support.  For free.  Because that's all they want to do.  We don't need to be paid like professionals for it because we're not doctors or lawyers, we're just geeks.
Oh, and we're not entitled to a corner of the internet where we can just hang out free of the demands of providing tech support during the rest of our single-minded lives.

At least,  that's how you make it sound.

No, they did'nt help me because I did not post on them. But if you look at the pages ALL of them are tech support/have a help section in the forum/offer how to's

I guess all of them and the majority of people on the internet are using the term incorrectly. But you got it right.

So the root of your argument is based in the fact that a number of people misuse the term "geek" to mean "computer-proficient tech type" to the exclusion of all other types of geekiness, and that we should basically either become a tech support forum or change the name.

No.

He says all of these other places have tech support/ help topics.  There is no such thing here.  But he doesn't post his question there.  Is it me or is this person the total idiot of all time?

student and computer slang; one probably thinks first of a computer
geek.

I wasnt expecting free tech support, I just had a simple question from one
