Webmail allows users to access their email accounts from any internet-connected computer rather than using a local email program. With webmail, emails are stored on the provider's server and viewed online rather than being downloaded to the local machine. The main advantages of webmail are that it can be accessed anywhere, requires no special software, and keeps emails backed up and secure on the server. However, webmail also has the disadvantages of requiring an internet connection and being limited by the server's disk space allocation. It is important for users to regularly clean up their webmail folders to avoid filling their mailbox, which would prevent sending and receiving emails.

3. WHAT IS WEBMAIL?
 Webmail is an internet based service which allows us
to access our e-mail account from any computer that
is connected to the Internet.

4. HOW IS WEBMAIL DIFFERENT FROM
MICROSOFT OUTLOOK (OR
OTHER E-MAIL PROGRAM)?
 Most e-mail accounts set up in programs like
MS Outlook, Netscape Mail or Outlook
Express, are set to move mail from the one
mail server to our local machine when we
open the mail software program.
 Using webmail, our e-mail does not get moved
to the computer we are using.
 Instead we just view and process mail that is
on the server.

5. WEB MAIL APPLICATIONS HAVE SEVERAL ADVANTAGES:
 Read It Anywhere
 No Special Software
 Can Be Secure
 Backed-up & Safe

6. THE DISADVANTAGES OF WEB MAIL

7. THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING A CLEAN SERVER
MAILBOX
 Keep your webmail folders cleaned up or you may
find that your server mailbox becomes full.
 When that happens, you will lose the ability to send
and receive mail. About 85% of the “I can’t send mail”
calls received at the Technology Services Center are
due to full mailboxes.
 Sometimes only one or two messages can fill a
mailbox if they are big enough. Messages with
attachments, especially photographs, are especially
problematic. Large attachments should be saved on
your hard-drive, and deleted from your e-mail.
