The University provides a Webmail service to the campus community. This service provides individuals a way to securely access their e-mail on any U of S e-mail server from off-campus. A secure webpage on the Webmail server encrypts all traffic, including the username and password, between the Webmail server and off-campus e-mail client.

Features
Secure Encrypted Communications
All traffic between the server and the web client is encrypted to prevent network snooping for usernames and passwords on unsecured networks.
Multi-language Support Online
Menus and help information are provided in a variety of languages. The correct character set must be installed on the client browser.
Address Book
An address book is provided for storing commonly used e-mail addresses. This address book is not integrated with other e-mail systems including the one provided in PAWS. The Campus E-mail Directory is accessible from within Webmail. It is included as a search option in the address book.
IMAP
Webmail uses the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP). E-mail messages remain on the U of S server when accessed using Webmail, unless the message is deleted.
