It's Here! - gmav Student E-mail at UNO!
hot
HEY HEY HEY!! POP, IMAP and Mobile Apps are now available for your gmav account. You will first need to set a password within your account. Click on the button below to begin that process. NOTE: Since your POP/IMAP password will be captured by Google, we highly recommend you DO NOT use your UNO NetID password.
note:
gmav Update
Some students who have changed their name with the registrar's office, but did not change their Net ID, have reported problems with gmav. Please change your Net ID to match your name change with the registrar's office.
Students are also reporting some official UNO e-mail is going directly to the gmav spam folder. Please review your spam folder and move those messages to your inbox by selecting the message and clicking 'Not Spam'.
Gmav, UNO's implementation of Google Apps for Education, is ready for use. Initial services at UNO will include the e-mail and calendar features. Google Docs and Chat will be implemented during Fall semester. Learn more about these services on the Google Apps For Education web page.

Who is eligible to receive a gmav e-mail account?
Most actively enrolled UNO students will receive a gmav account. Faculty, staff and graduate/teaching assistants will continue to use Lotus Notes for their UNO e-mail.
Will my UNO e-mail address be different?
No, your official UNO e-mail address will continue to be username@unomaha.edu.
How do I login to my gmav account?
Click on the gmav icon to the above right. You will be presented with a login page. Enter your UNO NetID username and password and click the Go button. The first time you do this you will be presented with a Welcome Screen where you'll enter a 'security' word (much as like buying tickets from TicketMaster). Read through the Terms of Service, then click on the 'I Accept. Create my Account' button to activate your gmav account. Subsequent logins will take you directly to your gmav e-mail account inbox. You will also be able to access your gmav account from the present Lotus Notes Webmail login page until the end of October.
I'm a Student Worker. Will I still need a Lotus Notes account?
Perhaps. A list of criteria was created to help decide if a Lotus Notes account is required for student workers.
Why did we make the change?
Students asked for a new e-mail system. Google offers more than 7 gigabytes of storage as well as many other features. You asked for something different. We delivered. We feel the extra speed, availability and ease of use will make your UNO e-mail experience a great one!
What's the timeline for full implementation?
August 17th: Student deployment of gmav, including mail, calendar, and e-mail chat features.
September 1st: IMAP & POP3, Mobile Apps, stand-alone Google chat fully functional.
October 31st: Lotus Notes for Students is retired.
January 14th 2010: Google Docs fully implemented and supported.
