Email has become one of the most important means of communication among people here, in part because they may not be physically anywhere near their collaborators. Also, being a 'non-intrusive' communication is helpful - if you send someone an email and they're not available to reply right away, they can take their time formulating a response instead of needing to on the spot, or promising a return phone call later when time is available. Quite handy for those 4AM questions that pop up. This section will explain a bit about email, including links for setting up various mail clients in the building, as well as some of the details of our email setup here in Peyton Hall.
