Problems ranging from its limited storage space to the webmail interface’s unwieldy design have caused many students to simply use their school-issued account as a forwarding address to third-party accounts.

Associate Dean for Internet Technology Larry M. Levine said that the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) will be exploring outside e-mail hosting options in the coming months as FAS works to “refurbish and upgrade the central FAS e-mail system...
