Computer Help

Internet

  • Forwarding your Wright State email
  • Getting class cancellation notifications on your cell phone
  • Certifying your mail so it's secure (S/MIME - Secure MIME)
    Any confidential information (grades, etc) require me to be able to reply to you in secure form to your WSU account. This is by WSU interpretation of the law (regular email isn't sufficiently secure).
    Requires an email application that works with SMIME (Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Mozilla/Netscape, etc...) Check with CATS for use on mail.wright.edu - I don't believe CATS has turned on this feature for the web version.
    See Dr. Mateti's page on how it works (not how to get it working)
