K-State recommends upgrading Internet Explorer 6 to version 7 because the latter provides substantial security improvements. Internet Explorer web browser versions below 7 are becoming more difficult to support for current web-based applications in use at K-State. In particular, K-State Online no longer supports versions of Internet Explorer below version 7.
K-Staters who have problems with K-State Online using Internet Explorer 6 are advised to update to version 7 or switch to Firefox. Internet Explorer 7 and other compatible browsers are available at http://public.online.ksu.edu/support/downloads. If you have any questions, contact the Help Desk, helpdesk@k-state.edu, 785-532-7722.
But I thought the current Webmail doesn’t support IE7, and the preview Webmail last year never came out.
The current webmail system supports IE7 just fine. The new version of K-State online however does NOT support IE6, so like it says in the post, any users of IE6 will need to upgrade to Either IE7 or Firefox 2.0.14 or Firefox 3.0.1 or Opera 9
