To change your e-mail password:
Currently e-mail passwords can only be changed from the WittLink Portal.
Rules for changing passwords:
You cannot reuse the last five passwords used for Windows NT/2000.
You must use a numeric character within the first 8 characters of the password.
The password must contain at least one capitalized alphabetic character and one lowercase alphabetic character within the first eight characters.
The minimum length password is 6 characters. (Reminder: Windows and the e-mail/WebCT passwords are separate; changing one does NOT change the other.)
To find an e-mail address for someone else on campus:
Click the Special Menu and select Directory Services from the list.
Click the [Tools] menu and select [Address Book].

To use one of the addresses, double-click the name. A new message with that person's address will be created.
To find information for other campus users:
Click [Tools] and select [Directory Services].
Make sure that the boxes in the Databases Window that say "mail.wittenberg.edu" are checked.
In the Query field, type the name to find and click [Start]. Example: If you type "Robert" and then Click the [Start] command, this tool will bring up all of the records in the database that contain 'robert'. You may also enter a partial name if you don't know how to spell the name and directory service will bring up all of the records that contain those letters.
