A new way of accessing email is available this spring semester. WebMail allows users to access their email via a web browser from anywhere in the world without having to configure an email client. A user simply types in his or her kent.edu userid and password to have access to his or her email. While not as full-featured as Eudora, Netscape, or Pegasus mail clients, WebMail offers universal access to your email and is especially useful to those who travel. A secure connection option is available at the bottom of the screen.
Online help is also available.
