Tips

  •  If you do now allow students to use Quickmail – they will not be able to see the block on the site homepage.

  • Attachment behaves differently for Students and for Teachers.
    • Students can select a file from their hard drive to attach to the email. This file is only temporarily stored on the server and will be deleted after the email has been sent.
    • Teachers use the standard course files interface. These files are stored in the course files and will never be removed by Quickmail.
