Opening an e-mail
1. Log in to WebMail.
Once you are logged in, your messages in your Inbox will be displayed.

You may sort your messages in your Inbox by Date, From, or Subject by clicking on the column heading.
2. Click on the sender's name in the From field.
Your e-mail message will open up and you will be able to read the message.
3. To return to your Inbox, click the Index button on the tool bar, or Close button in
the top right corner of the screen.
Your Inbox will appear.
Please Note: You can easily distinguish between opened and unopened e-mail by the Unseen icon in the first column of your e-mail Inbox. Your opened e-mail listings will also change color.
Opening Attachments

2. Right-click the name of the attachment, and choose from the following options:

5. Key in your message in the Message field.
Your reply message should be placed above the text of the original message. It is always a good idea to do this as it preserves the context of the discussion.

Printing an e-mail

Deleting an e-mail
1. Check the box next to the message you wish to delete in your Inbox.
2. Click on "Delete" in the action bar located at the top left of your Inbox. Deleting from your Inbox allows you to delete "junk mail" without having to open it.

3. When you delete an e-mail, it is moved to the DELETED folder and you may retrieve it from this folder if needed.
Adding Spam to the Blocklist
1. When reading a message that you believe to be spam, simply click the button 'Add to Blocklist and Delete'. This function will delete the message and block the sender from sending future e-mails.
2. Another way of doing this is to click 'Options' on the top center of the webmail toolbar.
3. Click 'Blocklist' to the top left of the webmail toolbar.
4. Enter the e-mail address of the spam sender or an e-mail address that you would like to block from sending future messages. Be sure to click the Save button.
