WebMail FAQ

WebMail - Things to remember (if nothing else):
  • This service is made available to our subscribers for use when not at your main computer.
  • This is a web interface to the mail server, not a client program, so it will not download messages.
  • After starting a message in "Compose", if you click on any Hot-Button (except "Address Book"), you will lose the message and have to begin again by re-clicking on "Compose".
  • Messages put in the Trash folder *WILL BE DELETED OFF THE SERVER* when you logout.

How do the Hot-Buttons work?

Buttons do what they say and are about their name.
