Using Webmail

1. To use WebMail go to http://webmail.uwosh.edu

If you have never changed your E-mail password you must do so before continuing. To change your password click on the change password link on the web mail log-in screen.

If you forgot your password go to Dempsey 207 with your titan card.

Enter your Username(the first part of your e-mail address) in the Username box and your E-mail password in the Password box.

2. Once you have logged in you will see all your E-mail messages that are in your NEW MAIL folder on the mail server(VAXA). You will also see this tool bar above the messages.

If you don't delete a message in WebMail it will continue to reside in your mail server NEW MAIL folder(VAXA). If you check your E-mail with Eudora, your E-mail is normally transferred to your computer hard drive, or zip disk, and removed from your mail server NEW MAIL folder and no longer available through webmail.

DISKQUOTA: We ask that you keep your mail server diskspace under 15 megs.

To figure out how much disk space you are using add up the size of each of your messages, and try to keep it under 15,000k.

For example here we take 5 + 5 + .6= 10.6k well under the 15,000k limit.

Delete: This will transfer the checked messages to the DELETED MESSAGES folder. By default 100 deleted messages are kept, to change this select the OPTIONS menu item.

Check: This checks for new e-mail, received since you logged in.

Help: Brings up the help menus.

Logout: Logs out of WebMail.

Draft: Saves the message you have been working on to the Inbox.

Inbox: Switches to the Inbox.

Address: To add an address put the name you would like to use for them in Name and their E-mail address in E-mail Address, click Save. Then you can highlight that name and click TO, to send the message to them, CC to carbon copy it to them, BCC to blind carbon copy it to them(everyone else who get the message doesn't know you sent it to them also). Click DEL to remove them from that box.

Attach: Use this to attach files to your e-mail message, first BROWSE for the file then ADD the file. The message should then be attached to your e-mail message.
