Webmail Viewing Options

In addition to the standard Webmail interface, users frequently connect to campus email using Outlook, Netscape, or other compatible programs.  Many users prefer this type of interface because it provides a "look and feel" that is similar to other web based email systems. The University Help Desk can assist you with installing compatible interfaces to access Webmail.

Calendaring

Faculty and staff also have access to Meeting Maker which is the calendaring system utilized by many members of the campus community. This system allows you to maintain your calendar, schedule appointments, send meeting invitations to other Meeting Maker users, and share your calendar with users of your choice.  Meeting Maker can be accessed on–line as a web-based product, or it may be accessed on your desktop if the software has been installed on your machine.
