don't see the big deal in this. When you graduate your LSU outlook account stays active for about a year. Gives you enough time to merge any and all files over, then disappears.

To keep an alumni email, is not high up on the priority food chain.


So I think alumni cropped up because LSU realized they couldn't manage the LSU account forever.

But I have had it for 20 years almost

They pay for every mailbox in "use" whether it gets used or not.

I was told they use the free service and that the costs related to account security was the reason the service is being discontinued.

There is no such thing as a free service, especially one with hundreds of thousands of mailboxes. The "account security" is part of the platform, and not free.

Even at a 50% educational discount, that's still not free.

I really don't know that's just what I was told by their office. More importantly I am definitely not an IT person so I'm sure you're right.

Still annoyed that LSU got rid of my old PAWS Telnet email, bayoutiger@tiger.lsu.edu, that my Prodigy compadres would use to contact me in DOS
