Send and Receive  

Web Mail Inbox

To check your mail: under My Folders on the left, select the 'Inbox' link,
then choose the 'Check Mail' link on the orange bar.

New messages are displayed in bold text.
If you have a lot of message, you may need to scroll through pages, using the [<] or [>] in the upper right.

Your mail box fills quickly preventing you from receiving any new mail. To delete unneeded mail, select the box next to the email item(s), then choose [Delete/Undelete]; this strikes the messages, marking them for deletion.
You may unmark messages by repeating the above step.

To delete the marked messages, choose Purge Deleted.

Organize Folders
Webmail Folders

Folders allow users to organize mail that they wish to keep, without cluttering up the Inbox.

The Folders link on the orange toolbar lets you create a new folder, rename an existing folder, or delete an existing folder.

The Quarantine folder is where potential junk mail is delivered, check this frequently as legitimate mail may wind up here.

Don't forget to periodically delete copies of message you have composed that are saved in the Sent Items folder.

To move an email to a folder:
Select the box next to an email you wish to move,
then use the
[Move to this folder] button
and select an already created folder.
