Myth #1	I have to give up my current e-mail account
	REALITY - You can forward e-mail from CUE to another e-mail account and read it with your other e-mail
	Myth #2	I have to use the CUE web site to access CUE-mail
	REALITY - You can use most major e-mail software to read CUE-mail including most probably your current setup
	Myth #3	There's no reason to use CUE-mail
	REALITY - Cue-mail is and will continue to ever-increasingly be used for official YSU communications. It's Common University E-mail - CUE!

So while Joe, who has never used email, can choose to use CUE via the web access piece with very little effort, Jane who would rather stick with her current e-mail setup can just forward her CUE-mail to her other e-mail account. Meanwhile, Sam decided to setup Microsoft Outlook on the laptop to reference CUE-mail while Pat modified Eudora to read and file her old e-mail account and her new CUE-mail separately. John...well you get the idea.

What is CUE-mail really?
Most visibly, CUE has a web interface (goto webmail.ysu.edu). This makes your CUE-mail easy to access from any where you go where you can access the web.
Most functionally, CUE is a system of YSU servers working to process and deliver your email.
Most importantly, the CUE-mail system utilizes the name-based YSU Electronic Directory of students, student applicants, faculty & staff. This directory follows a global standard for identifying network and internet resources and services.Thus your "CUE-mail" account will be used to access other services also*. *Already, you can dial into YSU's ISP services (330-480-7000) using this same account.
