ULB - Introduction to Webmail

If you have a standard E-mail address at the ULB or VUB or if you use a mail-alias, leave the value of the POP server (POP server) on 'default' and enter Webmail. Standard E-mail addresses are of the form:

user@ulb.ac.be
user@vub.ac.be
user@resulb.ulb.ac.be
user@med.ulb.ac.be

If your address is not a standard E-mail address or not a mail-alias, you also have to specify which POP server you wish to use. BEWARE that only POP servers inside the 'ulb.ac.be' or 'vub.ac.be' domain will be accepted. A POP server is a machine on which your mail arrives and is kept until you decide to look it up (with Webmail or Eudora, for example).

Once you are connected, you will see the list of messages that are in your mailbox. You then can read a message (by clicking on the "Subject" field of the message), delete it (DELETE or ), reply to it (REPLY or ), redirect it (FORWARD or ) or send a new message (COMPOSE MAIL).

It is possible to send a message to multiple correspondents by specifying a comma-separated list of E-mail addresses in the 'To:' and 'Cc:' fields.

Note: messages that you have read with Eudora already have been transferred to your PC or Macintosh and were removed from the POP server; they will not be available in Webmail.

What is Webmail?		Webmail is a project of RESULB, the network team of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB). Webmail has been developed by Michel Jansens. Webmail allows you to read your electronic mail from any computer which is connected to the Internet and which has a WWW browser. Webmail has been tested with Mosaic, Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer. It is reserved for the users at the ULB and VUB.
