Alumni web-based e-mail client - a lifetime of free email
In October 2003, the University of Twente augmented its alumni program to include a lifelong e-mail account with 50 MB storage capacity.
In cooperation with the Communication Bureau (BC) and the Service Information Technology and Library and Education (ITBE) department, B-Lex developed a web-based e-mail client in the WebHare Application Portal for this purpose.
With this application (similar to Hotmail or Yahoo! mail), all current and future alumni of the University of Twente can receive, send and store e-mail. The client is part of a public website and can be accessed from anywhere in the world.
The e-mail application has several options. For example, a user can choose his operating language, create folders for e-mail storage and even widen the interface.
