Webmail Tutorial - Introduction
There are two places you can go to log into webmail: http://mail.stargate.net or http://my.stargate.net. On both pages, you will need to enter your email username (usually the beginning part of your email address) and your password. Your username should always be in lowercase letters. After entering your login information, click the Login Now or Go button to start your Webmail session.
The webmail screen is separated into two frames. By default, the dark blue left frame is the folder list. This frame will show the last time that it was refreshed, and it will show your subscribed folders. The first time you log into webmail, you will probably only see the INBOX folder listed. More information about the left frame will be provided in the Folders and Options sections.
The right frame is where most of the action takes place. This is where you will read messages and compose messages to send. When you first log into webmail, you'll see the Inbox in the right frame. The yellow bar at the top shows the folder you are currently viewing, and you will find the link to Sign Out of webmail. Signing out of webmail when you are finished is especially important if you are using a shared or public computer (like at the library or in a computer lab).
Under the yellow bar is a row of menu choices:
- Compose – Use this menu to create a new email to send.
- Addresses – This is your personal Address book, go here to add or remove addresses.
- Folders – Organize your email by creating new folders.
- Options – Customize the way webmail responds and looks with the options.
- Search – Find messages based on keywords.
- Help – This menu will bring you to these pages!
- Calendar – Keep track of important events and appointments.
- Fetch – Check other POP3 mailboxes through your Stargate webmail.
