What's Installed

	Fugu 1.2 securely transfers files between computers that support SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol). Use Fugu to access your IFS Home Directory, a secure storage space for your files that is automatically backed up nightly. Fugu uses SSL security — the same used by Internet retailers — to protect your files and your UMICH Kerberos password.
	Mulberry 3.1.6 is an e-mail program that uses the IMAP protocol. With IMAP, your e-mail is stored on a special server rather than on your computer. That means your e-mail is always available to you anywhere in the world regardless of what computer you're using. See Using Mulberry 3 for E-mail (S4312) to help get you started. NOTE: The MIAK configures Mulberry to access your e-mail from the ITCS E-mail Service. If you don't use the ITCS E-mail Service — or don't know — please read Mulberry Tips. U-M's web-based mail.umich.edu also uses the IMAP protocol. Refer to Configuring Your E-Mail Program for the ITCS E-Mail Service (S4321) for configuring other commonly used e-mail programs for the ITCS E-mail Service.
	Kerberos protects your UMICH password when you use it within the U-M computing environment. CAUTION! Your UMICH password is critical to your online security. Never use it as a password for services outside of the U-M computing environment; for example, with Gmail or other online offerings. For complete details about your UMICH passwords, please read this.
	Three SSH shortcuts for the Mac OS X Terminal program allow you to establish secure ssh connections to special U-M servers, provided that you have permission to access them. They may be available in your Dock if you selected that option. ITCS Login Service (login.itd.umich.edu) CAEN Login Service (login.engin.umich.edu) Statistics and Computation Service (scs.itd.umich.edu)

Mulberry Tips

Don't Use the ITCS E-Mail Service?
Mulberry comes pre-configured for use with the ITCS e-mail service. Some schools — including Engineering/CAEN (except freshmen) and LS&A — provide their own e-mail services. If you are uncertain about what service you use, please call (734) 764-HELP [764-4357].

If you use an e-mail service other than ITCS, you will need to manually configure Mulberry. Please contact your school's help desk for the correct settings, then follow these instructions.

Keeping Your Personal Address Book
If you are currently using Mulberry 2.2.1 or earlier and created a personal Address Book:
CAUTION! Do this only if you haven't created a personal Address Book in Mulberry 3 or later.
1. Open your Documents folder. If there is not a folder called Mulberry, create one.
2. Open the Mulberry application folder — most likely in your Applications folder or inside the Mac Internet Access Kit folder in your Applications folder.
3. Move the Address Books folder to the Mulberry folder in your Documents folder.
4. If prompted, click Replace.
