When the central mail server became available for general use in spring
1996, we announced that we planned to phase out AFSmail. The time for
doing this is now set for the beginning of August. (The exact date, not
before July 31st, will be fixed as a function of the holidays of the
people directly concerned.) Moving from AFSmail to the mail server is very
straightforward and you will hardly notice any difference. Instructions on
how to do this have been sent to all users who still had afsmail
as their
preferred e-mail address in April and are currently being sent again. If
you are an AFSmail user and haven't received them, you can find a copy at
URL:

When the AFSmail service is stopped, mail addressed to
userid@afsmail.cern.ch
will be forwarded to the user's MAILSERVer account,
or, in case they don't have one, to the preferred e-mail address of
the AFSmail account's owner.
