Argh…

Months ago I had some problems with my Texas Tech University email account. The mail was not flowing. So, I contacted the IT help desk. After being passed around a few times, it was determined that, because I was no longer an official employee of Texas Tech, my university email account was disabled.

So, late last year I received an email from one of the administrative folks at TTU about a travel voucher. TTU uses an automated travel-accounting system (reducing paper). However, given that my account was disabled, I had no way of checking TTU email.

Or, so I thought…

Marian used my credentials to log into my email account and found the voucher awaiting my approval. I logged in through the webmail interface and found I could log in.

Argh…

I decided to determine whether my email client can retrieve messages from the TTU email server. They are downloading now.

As Kate would say, technology bites…
