Students now have:

• 10GB of mailbox space and 20MB attachments.
  
  
• a more personalized e-mail address that includes their last name, first initial(s), year entered ECU, and ends in "@students.ecu.edu". (Example: doeja10@students.ecu.edu)
  
  
• a built-in chat that lets you chat with up to 20 friends at one time.
  
  
• 25GB of built-in "Skydrive" folders that allow students to store documents or photos and access them from any computer or share them with their friends. (Skydrive is similar to Piratedrive.)
  
  
• ECU branding to show your Pirate loyalty (Arrrgh!)

Outlook Live is accessible from a Web browser and many popular e-mail programs, such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Entourage, and Mozilla Thunderbird, and is compatible with both Windows and Macintosh computers.
