WebMail Instructions

WebMail allows you to access your email from anywhere with a computer with Internet access and a web browser.  WebMail is not meant to be used as the main form of sending/receiving email.  Instead, it is meant to be more of a convenience for when you are away from your computer (i.e. traveling, at home, etc.)

Students are allotted 5 megabytes (MB) of space.  Employees are allotted 20 megabytes (MB) of space.  You will not be able to receive additional e-mail once you reach your storage limit.
