  • Clicking Refresh (Internet Explorer) or Reload (Netscape) will cause you to LOG OUT of your session and you will have to LOG IN again!  Do NOT use these buttons! If you want to check for new mail you have received since logging on, click the Folders button at upper left of screen.
  • Your account size will be limited to 15 MB.  The items in your Trash folder count towards your quota.  To permanently delete these messages, click ( purge ) next to your Trash folder.

The Folders page will be your initial point of entry to WebMail.  From this page you may access your different folders, see how many messages you have in each folder and manage your folders (create, rename, delete).
