Important Information

  • Automatic Logout: NIMS will automatically log you out after 30 minutes of inactivity. Inactivity means no mouse movement. We suggest if you have a need to compose a lengthy e-mail, you do so in a word processor and then cut and paste into your Compose Mail dialog box.
  • Your Password: If you change your password within e-mail, this password will be your Novell password the next time you log in. If you change your Novell password, this password will be your e-mail password.
  • Saving Sent Messages: NIMS does not automatically save your sent messages. You must create/enable a Sent folder to save your outgoing mail. Follows these steps:
    1. Click on the Folders link at the top of the page. Click on Create Folder. Type 'Sent' into the Create folder box. Click on the 'Apply' button in the lower right to create the Sent folder.
    2. Click on the Options link at the top of the page. Scroll down to the Appearance section. In the drop-down box to the right of "Sent Folder," make sure 'Sent' is selected. Click on the 'Apply' button to the right of the Appearance section to save the settings.
