The toolbar displays options to

open Help, change your WebAccess options, and exit WebAccess.
Folder List
The Folder List displays the
folders used to organize the items you've sent and received. You can add additional
folders to further help you organize your items. You click a folder to display
the contents of the folder in the Item List. The Mailbox folder is the default
folder that is opened when you first log in.
Item List
The Item List displays the contents of the folder that is currently open.
By default, the 10 most recent items in the folder are displayed. If the folder
contains more than 10 messages, a Next
button appears at the bottom of the list. You can click Next
to display the next 10 messages. If you wish, you can change the number of
messages displayed per page by editing the WebAccess options.
The icon next to each item indicates the item's
type and status. Buttons for actions you commonly perform on items are displayed
at the top of the Item List. You can simultaneously perform actions on multiple
items (delete, purge, etc.) by marking the boxes to the left of the items
and then clicking the desired action button. When you click an item to open
it, the actions you can perform on that item are also displayed at the top
of the item window.
Added Features of your new student email account
Personal Address Books
By default, WebAccess provides each email account with one predefined Personal
Address Book with your name as the title. Whenever you create a new address
book entry, it is automatically stored in your Personal Address Book.
Public and System-Wide Address Book
The Public and System-Wide address books allow you to search for other students email addresses. (Great for selling books, or inquiring about homework assignments or questions about class content.)
About the Calendar
The Calendar lets you view appointments, tasks, or notes you've received from others or created for yourself. You can view one day, one week, or one month at a time. You open the Calendar from the toolbar in the WebAccess main window.
You can
change the time span for viewing appointments, tasks, and notes by clicking
Day, Week,
or Month above the calendar. The Item List changes
to correspond with your selection. For example, if the current display shows
just the appointments you have for today, clicking Week
simultaneously displays all the appointments you have for the entire week.
See the
files for how to create tasks, appointments, or notes.
About Rules
You can use rules to define actions that you want to be performed on items you receive. For example, you can forward messages or move messages to folders. Rules can help you organize your Mailbox, automate your Mailbox while you are away, or delete unwanted items.
Creating Rules
When you create a rule, you must do the following:
- Select the type of action you want performed. The available actions are: Move To, CC To, Delete, and Forward To. Define any optional conditions. For example, you may want to move all items you receive from your supervisor to a specific folder. You can define a condition so that only messages with your supervisor's name on the From line are moved to the folder. All other items will remain in your main Mailbox folder.
- Fill in the information required to carry out the action. For example, you may need to specify the folder where you want to move the messages.
- Save the rule.
If you would like to forward your email to another account,
under OPTIONS, click MailBox Management and type the email address
account you want all this email to go. Click SAVE when you are through.
