If, for some reason, you cannot, you will need to check your email first, before you can send any email to non-Brown email addresses. The majority of email users at Brown get their mail delivered to a Unix mail server called postoffice. The postoffice machine has mailboxes for each member of the Brown community. We also have an SSL port, so any email client that supports SSL can be used to retrieve mail. Please see the Help Desk mail service page for information about the upcoming changes to the mail server this fall.
