Your CCSF email
- Your CCSF email address is your login name/UserID + @ccsf.edu (not spaces or capital letters)
- So, if your login is ejones your email address would be ejones@ccsf.edu
CCSF's email program is GroupWise: it is actually an email-based suite of related programs including: email, address book, and calendar/scheduler. You have two ways of accessing it:
No matter which way you choose to get to your GroupWise email, you must type in your login and password.
You email stays on the GroupWise server: the computer that holds all our CCSF email. So it doesn't matter whether you use the Windows program or the browser-based Web client: you are seeing the same email.
- When you delete messages in the either the Windows or the Web version of GroupWise, they are deleted from the server, so they will also appear deleted no matter which GroupWise program you use.
- In the Web client, remember to click the Update link to after you delete messages. Otherwise deleted or moved messages may still appear.
Logging in
Log in to GroupWise (using either the Web or Windows interface) using:
- Your Login name:
- Usually the first initial of your first name followed by up to seven letters of your last name, lowercase, no spaces
- Your Password:
- Your initial password is set to your birth date in an 8-digit format—2 digits for month,2 digits for day, and four digits for year. So March 4, 1978 would come out to 03041978.
- Changing your password:
- You aren't forced to change your password when you first enter GroupWise. So, although you can change it anytime you want, it will probably stay at the initial value for a while.
- Your GroupWise vs your Windows/Network password:
- Don't confuse your GroupWise password (which you are not forced to change from your 8-digit birthdate) with your Windows computer/network password, which you had to change the first time you logged onto a CCSF Windows computer.
