Tips for Using Webmail

Where is Everything? 
Note Your Inbox messages are divided into "pages."  The first page of messages will display.  To navigate to other pages, use the Page box or arrows on the toolbar.  The default is to show 25 messages per page - this setting can be changed in Options.

Remember to Refresh
A web page must reload to display changes.  As you read or delete messages, your Inbox will not update until you click on the Reload/Refresh button on the browser's toolbar.

Be Sure to Log Out
Click on the Log Out Icon on the left menu bar when you are finished.  Simply closing your browser or ending your Internet connection will not properly release your session from the web server, causing slower service for everyone.

Using Microsoft Outlook Remotely

For security, use our Virtual Private Network (VPN) to connect to Outlook from your home computer.  For more information and instructions, visit our Remote Network Access page.
 

You can email all students or all students in a class, in a course, in a section, etc.  Messages using the Student Directory cannot contain attachments and will be sent as plain text.
 

Microsoft Office Outlook can do so much more than just send and receive email.  Download one of the following handouts to learn more about the features that make Outlook a powerful collaborative tool:

Here are basic instructions for specific Outlook tasks in our environment:

If you wish to use your campus mail account, you can have your Exchange mail permanently forwarded (note this excludes continued use of your Exchange mailbox), or you can use it as a separate mailbox.  For example, you could use your uniqname@bus.umich.edu address to deliver directly to Exchange, and your uniqname@umich.edu address to deliver only to your campus mailbox.  You would need to remove the Business School forwarding address from your campus Online Directory entry, and you will not receive any internal Business School mail in the campus account.  Contact the Helpdesk for assistance to ensure proper mail delivery.
