Tasks

See the Wishlist for a list of tasks to put on the webmaster contract.

Email Address

The webmaster email address is webmaster@ausmcgill.com.

  • If you want to use webmail, go to http://webmail.textdrivehosting.com/, type webmaster-aus as the username, and choose "nelson.textdrive.com" as the server.
  • If you want to use a desktop email client, follow the instructions for Outlook Express and substitute "nelson.textdrive.com" for "servername.textdrive.com" in the instructions. Note that you don't have to set the "Outgoing Mail Server" if you already have one for your other mail.
  • Another option is to forward mail. Under "Email forwarding destinations", choose "Email address..." and type in your personal email address, and then choose "This user's mailbox" in another row. It is important to not merely forward all mail. Saving mail in the user's mailbox will allow future webmasters to access to important information.
