Students from the Spring 2008 Software Engineering course announce the official release of the software they developed for the course. The team of Kory Kirk, John McCoey and Andrew Chickadel developed NovaMail, an add-on for the Firefox web brower that automates the task of checking a user's Villanova web mail. Lead developer Kory Kirk improved the application after the semester concluded and arranged with Mozilla.org to post the add-on for public distribution.
This FireFox extension informs users, who have the web browser open, when they receive a Villanova E-Mail. This allows for users to avoid the tedious task of checking their Villanova web mail. The intended user is a Villanova Student/Faculty/Staff with a Villanova e-mail account and the Mozilla FireFox web browser. Using this extension helps save time because users will not have to continually log in and check their e-mail. This also improves users’ efficiency in responding to potentially important e-mail messages with greater speed.
