The following important points may please be noted: The FORWARDING ADDRESS will have to be setup by the users themselves. Pl donot ask CC staff to change it on your behalf. After the LDAP id is marked ""FORWARDINGONLY"" CC has no responsibility about the MAILBOX contents. Access to such mailboxes may be permitted on a ""as-is"" basis against payment of a fee (currently Rs 1000/-). After the GRACE PERIOD, LDAP records of the users will be examined and all LDAP ids who donot have FORWARDING ADDRESS will be terminated (hence the ids will be free for use by new users) with immediate effect. After the GRACE PERIOD is over, the account will be marked as FORWARDINGONLY and thereafter no login is possible on the webmail server and the BIGHOME server. Only NEWSGROUP access is permissible. The NEWSGROUP ACCESS profile of all such users will be monitored. All ids that show continuous no-access period of three months or more will be marked as “INACTIVE” and will be phased out. To avoid being treated as inactive, the FORWARDINGONLY account holders must ensure that they do not have inactivity periods of more than three months.",https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/," **Q. How do I setup pine to read my webmail mails ?** To set up pine to use central MAILBOXes at imap.iitb.ac.in as your mail repository do the following : 1. Go to setup->configure 2. set smtp server as **smtp-auth.iitb.ac.in/tls/user=xxx (xxx is your LDAP id)** 3. **inbox-path: {imap.iitb.ac.in/ssl/novalidate-cert}** 4. now exit setup. 5. Now you should be able to access the Webmail mailboxes, make folders on webmail IMAP server etc. If you are using Webmail mailboxes from any computer, all the outgoing emails would have the ID as yourloginname[at]iitb.ac.in. For example, if you set the pine at venus.che.iitb.ac.in to check your mails at webmail and you have login-name 'hemantrm' on venus.che but the login-name 'hemant' at Webmail, then all the mails would go as hemantrm[at]iitb.ac.in. To change this do the following:-pine -> Setup -> Config -> Customized headers (it's somewhere at the end). There, press enter and write the following - From: your- username-at-webmail[at]iitb.ac.in and save and exit pine. Now all the mails would go as hemant[at]iitb.ac.in even if I have login-name hemantrm at the server from where the pine is configured to check mails at Webmail.",https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/,1 bandi kaise patau?," Bandi - /bun-dee/ noun - A word used for all girls, which is generally a rare species in IITB",https://smp.gymkhana.iitb.ac.in/life_culture.php," ------------------------------------------------- --END--------------------------------------------- --------------",https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eTICcbswfGC3yFl4hcajy6JahRjwOFTD/view?usp=sharing,1 ,,,,,0 ,,,,,1 ,,,,,None ,,,,,0 where is H1,"17 LH101 240 Lecture Hall Complex, L2 Building, Between Physics & MEMS Dept. along Corridor First Floor",https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NaYLmXUc1DzhxZ3ps9fBp9ZN5i1qrtZy/view?usp=sharing,"1 LA001 350 Lecture Hall Complex, L3 Building, Between HSS & Chemical Engg.
