Individual Portlet Questions

Why can’t I send an e-mail from the e-mail portlet?

You may click the “INBOX” button in the portlet. or you may click on the e-mail button in the “HUSKYNET SERVICES” portlet in order to access your full HuskyNet e-mail experience.

Why can’t I add/edit/delete a calendar item from the Calendar portlet?

Why can’t I open e-Services?

Do I need to manually change the password that I use to log into e-Services when I reset my password for that account?

If you change your password to e-Services, you must also update your e-Services password on the “HUSKYNET SERVICES” portlet.  You can do this by clicking on the “Update e-Services Password” button.
