Pegasus Mail is the electronic mail
(email) system used by HealthNet Nepal. In order to access
Pegasus Mail, you need to be connected
to the network. You can connect to the network in
two ways:
* Locally (Within IOM complex) – Connect your Ethernet
connector to the connection
jacks located in many of the departments, project offices or
library areas.These
connection jacks resemble telephone jacks, but are actually
direct connectors to the
HealthNet Nepal network.
* HealthNet (Dial-in from home) – Connect one end of your
telephone cord
to the telephone jack and the other to the modem located on the
left-hand side
of the computer. Double click on the shortcut labeled
"Shortcut to HealthNet".
Follow the instructions for dialing in to the network.
Email is a very important method of
communication. It is requested that all students
establish the routine of checking for
email messages at least one time per day. This is
required because much of the
communication with students will take place over email.
1.Email is not a
private means of communication. Once you have sent a message, the
recipient
has the opportunity to store the message or forward it on to
another user.
Therefore,
it is advisable to not send private or confidential messages over
the email
system.
2.Only mark an email
message urgent if the message is truly an urgent matter.
3.Only send copies of
messages to users who have a need to know about the message.
Avoid
sending copies (cc) of messages unless there is a need. Needless
messages are
referred
to as "junk mail" and clog up the server and individual
recipients’ mail boxes.
4.Avoid using email as
a method of solicitation.
5.Because there is no
tone of voice or face to face communication over the email
system,
some
unwritten rules are practiced by many users of email. Sending a
message written
in all
capital letters may be considered offensive to some users because
it has the
connotation of shouting.
The following pages contain
instructions on using the Pegasus Mail system. A "help"
menu
also exists within Pegasus Mail that
contains instructions on using many of the features of the
email system. There is even a tutorial
entitled "Introductory Tutorial" which is a great way
to get started using Pegasus Mail.
