As part of Tufts Computing and Communications Services' (TCCS) efforts to upgrade the campus network to hardware with greater capacities and abilities, Tufts Trumpeter Webmail was temporarily shut down during the early hours this morning, from 2AM to 8AM.
In a statement posted on Tuftslife.com and sent to Information Technology Services (ITS) yesterday, TTCS stated that, "Over the past few days, students have reported and we have observed intermittent periods of slowness on student e-mail."
During the approximate six hour shut down period, students will not be granted access to any of Webmail's services, but there will be no changes made to students' e-mail addresses, quotas, and configurations.
Any e-mail that was sent to a Tufts Webmail address from a non-Webmail address will be held until the maintenance work is completed -- sometime after 8AM this morning.
