U. of Michigan Sticks By Its E-Mail Service
A growing number of colleges are switching to e-mail services offered by Google and Microsoft, but the University of Michigan won’t be making such a move any time soon. A campus official told The Michigan Daily that the university sees “no compelling reason” to outsource its e-mail.
For the most part, Michigan students seem happy with the university’s current Web mail client, an open-source program created by a group called the Horde Project. In fact, just 5 percent of Michigan’s undergraduates forward their e-mail to other accounts.
That figure seems surprisingly low, especially compared with the statistics we’ve heard from other colleges. Any idea what percentage of students at your institution forward their e-mail to other accounts? —Brock Read
