As a heads up, the @Mail server also commonly referred to as Makani email for you old timers will be phased out due to budget cuts. The Makani @mail accounts have the format of jhara@k12.hi.us or jdoe@makani.k12.hi.us or jdoe@atmail.k12.hi.us etc. All student email accounts will be removed at the close of business on June 30, 2009. Students should print out or download all their important emails to their desktop/laptop computer before the June 30, 2009 date. For teacher/staff, your Makani @mail accounts will not be removed but we highly recommend that you obtain another email provider and let the folks you correspond with know your new email address. All teacher/staff should have a Lotus Notes email account. The tech and maintenance support for the Makani @mail servers will be discontinued. Should there be a crash or problem that we can't fix ourselves, the email service will come to an abrupt end so that is why we recommend teacher/staff start looking to migrate their Makani email accounts to a different provider.

Schools that still require student email accounts, we are evaluating using Google Apps & gmail education edition or Microsoft's Live@Edu email for student email accounts. Will make a recommendation before the start of the new school year. We are closing the chapter on the Makani email system that has been in service since 1995. If you have any questions please send them to NSSB . [posted 05/28/2009]
