Finding Employee (Faculty, Staff) Email Addresses (Cleveland State University)

To get a person's email address, there are two methods.

Method 1: From the Search Page or the CSU Telephone Directory Page:
First, search for a person (see above) by typing his/her name into the appropriate boxes and clicking the "Search" button. Make a note of his/her Department (listed after the comma after the job title), click the "Back" button under the list of matches to get to the CSU Telephone Directory Search page, find the Department in the drop-down list labelled "Select Department", and click "Continue" (see "Search for All Members of a Department" below). From the resulting list, click the person's name to see their email ID; then click the email ID to send email.

Method 2: From Web-based POPmail: (available only if you have a CSU email id)
Login to POPmail using your CSU email id - the part of your email address before the "@" sign - and your CSU email password. Once you are in, click the icon on the left that looks like rolodex file cards. This takes you to a page of four frames. In the frame at the top, type the person's name or part of the name in the "Name:" field, click the appropriate radio button ("Contains", "Starts With", or "Exact Match", depending on the type of match you want), and click the "Find" button. (For an "Exact Match", the name must be entered in First Name - Last Name order, with a space in between; do not include middle initials or names.) Then wait. After a while, names matching your choice will appear in the bottom right frame. The selected name will have information displayed in the bottom center frame. The email address appears there in parentheses.

uh, throw me a few grand and i might be able to, uh, streamline this a bit....
