Note to Webmail

For close to three years now I have been using this blog as a platform for not only sharing uni experiences but also giving advice (a bit too many, probably). Thus, you can consider myself something like a free consultant or what I prefer "the young student's whisperer".

This leads me to my inspiration for this post. It has come to my attention that many of the freshers don't really make use of their webmail accounts (particularly, freshwomen S.S. and R.A.). After the update that the webmail system has had, it is now using Microsoft Exchange. Thus, it gives us the option to have a sync'ed phone, outlook on main computer and online webmail account, with integrated calendar and e-mail. The calendar has proven to be particularly useful as now I get notifications wherever I am on campus while using any internet device.

One think Vlad forgot to mention is the countless number of unwanted emails you will get. Even though Aston staff and students are on Exchange you'll still get loads of ASTON and ASTON GUILD emails that completely do not interest you. Other than that - good stuff :)

That is very true! But I get more in my gmail tbh, had it for longer...
