NACS's WebMail service provides secure and global access to e-mail through today's most popular web browsers. This is the most common mail protocol. Using POP, mail that is sent to your email address is stored on a server until you check your mail. Your messages will only be left on the server if you specify your mail program to leave messages on server. This however can sometimes cause you to receive duplicate messages when you check your mail.
POP is beneficial in that it is the quickest and easiest protocol for checking mail.
You can view just the heading and the sender of the e-mail message and then decide whether to download the mail. You can also create and manipulate folders or mailboxes on the server, delete messages. You must manage your mail deletion more carefully to insure not going over disk quota. This will depend on your e-mail needs and work habits. For more information, consult your Computing Support Coordinator .
