The State News ran a piece about the service yesterday : http://www.statenews.com/index.php/article/2007/11/student_creates_new_e -mail_service_called_state-mail "Gift said he doesn't have a problem with students switching to State-Mail." According to the article, but I wouldn't hold my breath on the editorial quality of the State News in regards to quotes. -Nick Kwiatkowski -----Original Message----- From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of John Resotko Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2007 9:42 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] Student developed front end to mail.msu.edu In case you didn't see the article in the State News this morning, you may want to check out: https://state-mail.com and http://www.state-mail.com/about.php which is apparently a student-constructed front end replacement for the current official web interface. The site is apparently using some kind of cookie to store an encrypted copy of your MSU NetID and password locally, in order to pass that info on to an applet which keeps you connected to your mail and your AFS space. There is no information on whether this is a sanctioned student project, or just a hobbiest project, so use with caution. I'd be curious to hear comments from the faculty/staff perspective, since many of the interface improvements are geared toward student use. John A.
