Webmail accounts
"Webmail" is a website that allows users to read and write e-mail. No software is required, besides an Internet browser. E-mail is stored remotely on the webmail host's server, so it can be accessed from any computer in the world. To get started with your own e-mail account, follow the instructions on the webmail website's sign up page to create a new account.

The last step is very important: When you are done using your email, you should use the Sign out or Logout button on the webmail's website, to log out of your email account. This is extremely important on shared PCs, like those in the library. If you do not log out of the website, and the browser (Firefox) is never closed, (regardless of if your Internet Session ends) the next patron to use the computer will be able to access your email account.
