Users can also switch to Mozilla Thunderbird, which can be downloaded from the HASCS website. Davis recommended that students make the necessary changes before the summer so that they will prepared at the start of next semester.
Thunderbird replaces Eudora as the preferred e-mail program of FASCS, which has recommended Eudora for years. But with passing years, Davis said, students and faculty have been increasingly unhappy with the program.
“In the past few years we have been getting more and more complaints about Eudora,” Davis said.
Davis said the possibility of network disruptions is one of the main reasons for the prohibition against students’ setting up their own wireless networks on campus.
