The system provides an e-mail application that you can use to send and receive mail messages
to colleagues on and off campus. Depending on how your institution has implemented the system,
you may also be able to use the E-mail application to access external mail accounts, such as
those provided by the Internet service provider you use at home (MSN, AOL, etc.) To access your e-mail account,
use the following procedure:
|
| 1. |
If you have not already done so, log in to the system. |
| 2. |
Click the e-mail icon located in the main navigation bar (above the page tabs). The E-mail Center opens displaying a list of any messages that you may have.
|
| 3. |
Alternately, you can use the E-mail Channel to access the E-mail Center and its messages, your address book, or even to compose a message on the fly. If you do not see the E-mail Channel in your system, you can subscribe to it.
As illustrated above, the E-mail Channel provides information about the five most current messages that you have in the inbox of your default e-mail account. Clicking on the subject line of any of the messages opens the E-mail Center to display that message. The channel also provides three icons: Compose, which opens an e-mail composition window from which you can address, create, and send a message; Address Book, which opens the E-mail center to the Address Book tab; and E-mail, which opens the E-mail Center to a default view in which no message is preselected for display. |
