How do I change my e-mail password?

Currently passwords must be changed from the Witt Portal section of the Wittenberg Web page. Select the Witt Portal quicklink, log in, and choose Change password from the column on the left.

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 while the maximum is 8. (Reminder: E-mail and Windows passwords are separate; changing one does NOT change the other.)

To create your own address book:

• Click the New Message icon in the toolbar.
• Click the Address icon in the upper left corner of the window.
• Change the option in the space "PUBLIC - Public Address Book" to "PERSONAL - Personal Address Book". *Note: The personal address book in Eudora Pro is separate and will not be available automatically, nor will the WebMail addressbook be available through Eudora Pro..

To send file attachments:

• After typing the e-mail that you are sending, click [Message].
• Click [Attach], locate the file on that you wish to send, and click Ok.
