WebMail - Reading and Writing E-mail

Reading an E-mail Message in WebMail

To read one of your e-mail messages, simply click either the Sender's Name or the Subject of the particular message you wish to view. When finished reading a particular message, click the X in the upper right hand corner of the WebMail portion of the screen to return to your index.

Warning: In the extreme upper right of your browser window there is an X that will close your entire web browser (surrounded with red). Make sure the X you click is in the Webmail portion of the screen (surrounded with green).

Writing an E-mail Message in WebMail

To write someone an e-mail, first click the button. This will open the Create Message page.

1. Fill out the To: field with any e-mail address to which you wish to write. If you wish to include more than one, separate them with a comma (,). If you don't know what CC and BCC are, don't worry about it; you won't need to use them normally. You may also use your address book to add your recipients.
2. If you wish to include a subject, type one in the subject field.
3. Fill out the message body with the main content of your letter.
4. When you are ready to send your message, click the button near the top.

Warning: If you like to write long e-mails, but can't complete writing them before your Webmail session times out (generally no less than 30 minutes), you may find yourself automatically logged out of Webmail, causing your current message to be lost. If this frequently causes you problems, you can write your message offline in a word processor such as Microsoft Word, Wordperfect, or Notepad. Then, copy & paste the message directly into the message body of a new Webmail message and send as normal.
