After entering your user name and password for the first time, you will see a page called Preferences open up. As shown below:

Notice in the Default Identity box, it has Name and Email as Unspecified. If you leave this as Unspecified, people will not know who you are when you send them an email through this system.

Important things to remember:

• When you get back to work and download your email, they will no longer appear in the webmail system
• When you send a new email or reply to an existing one, you will not have a saved copy, therefore it is recommended you Blind Copy (BCC) yourself if you wish to keep a copy of email sent by you through the webmail interface.
• This system is not designed to be a permanent Eudora or Outlook replacement, it should only be used when away from the Department.
• If you leave your computer on of an evening and leave your email program open to download email as they come in, you will not see those email's through webmail. Once downloaded to your local machine via Eudora etc, the message will no longer be on the server, so webmail will show no email's.
