EagleMail. EMU's e-mail, collaboration and productivity tool set.

In addition to a full-function, unlimited-quota e-mail system, EagleMail provides the following features:

Collaboration: Documents

EagleMail’s Documents feature contains two options: one for word processing and one for spreadsheets. Each option allows users to create and import documents and share them with other EagleMail users within the EagleMail interface. With Documents, there is no need to attach, send and download files. Users work with the files directly inside the Documents interface. Documents created using this feature can be shared with and modified by large groups, such as a class or a workgroup.

Collaboration: Briefcase

EagleMail’s Briefcase feature functions like a virtual briefcase, allowing users to upload documents from other programs, such as Microsoft Word or Excel, and “carry” them to another location where they can login to EagleMail to retrieve them, download them or work with them. These files can be shared in the same way as EagleMail Documents.

Both Documents and Briefcase offer sharing features whereby users can designate folders to share with other users, who will easily be able to access and work with the contents of the shared folders. The Documents and Briefcase features are accessed via separate tabs in the EagleMail interface, above the e-mail messages list.

Productivity: Tasks

EagleMail's Tasks feature allows users to set to-do lists and manage their work through the EagleMail interface if they choose. This allows users to accomplish more of their work within a single interface, rather than using multiple programs for task and collaboration management.

Productivity: Calendaring

Enterprise calendaring allows you to manage your personal schedule, group calendars, meeting invitations and responses, and reminders in one location. The calendar is integrated within the EagleMail suite, so your invitations for meetings are automatically placed on the respondent's calendar.

You can customize the views of your calendar so other users can see as much or as little of your calendar as you prefer.

You can also set reminders to notify you before meetings or tasks are due.
