When your SISSA account will be closed

Before your account will be closed, you will receive several email warnings.
Warnings before your account expiration date: three months, two months, one month, 14 days, 7 days, 3 days… then daily.
If you need to change your account expiration date, PLEASE DO NOT WAIT THE LAST MINUTE; read the page: How to get an account renewal.

Forward ??? what is that???: Redirect/send your incoming SISSA e-mails to another e-mail address.

You can activate the e-mail forward when you prefer using SISSA Webmail service, but you have to do it before the expiration date of your account.

After your account expiration date, this redirection will be active for other 6 months, then the forward-redirection will be removed and the subsequent mails (sent to your e-mail address@sissa.it) will be rejected. .

• The staff can not enable/activate the forward for you.
  
• You can set the forward through the Webmail service

Once you login in outlook with your SISSA account

• click on “settings” (the little wheel in the up-right corner on the screen),
• in the “Search Outlook settings” box on te right write “forward”
• clik on “enable forwarding” and insert your email address where you want the SISSA email will be sent
• click on “Save”
• It is not necessary to keep an email also in SISSA

Please, before leaving SISSA, warn all your contacts that your e-mail address@sissa will cease to exist.

Your web pages will be visible for about 6 months after the expiration date of your account.
BUT we suggest that you set a REDIRECT to your new web site (if you have one) before the expiration date of your account (after you can not access/modify to your files).

After identifying the files and directory you need to copy, you can use one or more of these ways:

• copy them –using the scp or sftp commands– on your new working site (possibly not during the “ hot ” hours of the day, the best moments are late evening or very early morning);
• copy them on CD using the K3b program (not all our workstation have a cdwriter or dvdwriter device). ITCS (the computer staff) do not provide CD or DVD for your personal use, please ask to store@sissa.it;
• copy them on your laptop or on your pendrive, if you have it.

• make always at least 2 copies,
• check the content of the copied files,
• keep the copies in different places,
• ONLY if it is all ok, please remove your files in the local scratch areas before leaving SISSA.
