To send outgoing email, one needs to know the email addresses of the recipients, which can be found by asking the acquaintances or by looking at the top email headers of their messages. Also, like UIC, most universities maintain online staff directories to help find people's email addresses and other information. Webmail is a new Internet-based email program used by UIC which allows users to access email from any Web browser. Eudora has a graphical user interface and runs on Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh personal computers. Webmail is especially useful for students who may not own their own computer and frequent public computer labs on campus.
Students then have the ability to send messages and files to others, both on campus and off.
Their email can be accessed from anywhere in the world. An internet connection and a Web browsing program are the only requirements. You then enter your NetID, password, and the server on which your email resides. Webmail has the ability to read and send messages. Students can also reply, forward, and send messages with attachments.
