NWE: Help: Email: Email Etiquette
Email addresses are used to identify a particular user who uses a certain computer to read his or her email. Generally speaking, email addresses take the form user@host.
Email host names read backwards -- right to left -- like the names of all Internet host names. Your email address at the Networked Writing Environment is:
userid@nwe.ufl.edu
So, if a person at another University wants to send you mail, they must address their mail to ksmith@nwe.ufl.edu.
Let's look at some more examples:
| address | notes |
|---|---|
| ksmith@nwe.ufl.edu | A student with userid ksmith at the NWE |
| ksmith@nervm.nerdc.ufl.edu | A person with a NERDC email account, on the NERVM computer, and userid ksmith |
| ksmith@ufl.edu | A person with a Gatorlink email account |
| ksmith@grove.ufl.edu | A person with an email account at CIRCA |
| ksmith@polisci.ufl.edu | A person with an email account in an academic department at UF |
| ksmith@playfair.stanford.edu | A person with an email account at another University. |
Here are some important additional email addresses.
- help
- You can send email to help to report problems with the system or ask for help using parts of the system.
- your instructor
- Your instructor has an email address. Write it down and use it to ask questions, turn in assignments, etc.
- f01-xxxx
- Each section taught in the Networked Writing Environment has an email list. Sending mail to the email list for your section delivers the mail to every student in the class and the instructor. Just replace the first half of the address with the semester of your class (ie, f01 for fall 2001) and the xxxx with your class section number. Ask your teacher if you're not sure what to use.
