E-mail Addresses for Slavic Departments Abroad

[Emily Tall]

You might be interested in our (SUNY Buffalo's) experience with
e-mail with the University of Tver. The e-mail address/account is
for the whole university, not the dept. that our students are
affiliated with. The computer(s) are kept under lock and key as
there was a recent theft. The chairman of the dept. at first forbid
one of his teachers from correspondeing with me as it was not "dept.
business", and e-mail that is received at the university has to go
through about 6 people before it gets to its recipient. However,
I know that individual American students have gotten - or been
able to use - individual accounts (of other people) with more
success.. However, other universities might be more accommodating.
