On Emailing

NUIG uses a form of SquirrelMail as their emailing system. SquirrelMail, I learned from Wikipedia, has a logo "Webmail for nuts". And it's true, you'd have to be nuts to use it. It doesn't organize well, isn't user friendly, and just even looks archaic. Perhaps some or all of this is due to NUIG's use of the program (my opinion of technology use and support here is very, very low), but basically, the system sucks and is generally inaccessible. So please never email that account - I check it possibly more than my gmail account, but pretty close to never (which is bad because occasionally the school will send out an email - everyone texts here though so usually it's not even necessary to use that account).
