Your email will now pick up any waiting mail, which should include a test message from Tech Services.If you want to pick up your school mail when your laptop is outside the school system (i.e. at home) please continue to Appendix 1

Note:

·Mail being sent to your @glenlyonnorfolk.bc.ca e-mail is automatically being forwarded to your @mygns.ca email.

·Tech Services has set up an individualised automatic response to anyone who mails to your @glenlyonnorfolk.bc.ca email to advise them of your change of address.

·Those of you using the web access to your @glenlyonnorfolk email as a kind of electronic storage unit with sub folders will need to send those emails to your new @mygns.ca address and pick them up with the mail program, because in 2 months they will all be wiped from the server.
