########## Reading your email using Webmail ########## 

		
	*NB: Make sure you read the paragraph "Webmail does not work - what is wrong?" before you contact Orakeltjenesten.*


		
	If you are somewhere without access to a normal email client, Webmail can be a good alternative.


				-=What is Webmail=-
		
	Webmail is an *Web-based email client*. The point of such services is to have access to your email from anywhere in the world, just using a normal Web browser - for instance at an Internet café. Webmail is now available for both *students and employees*.

 				-=Address book=-
		
	Webmail has good support for address books. You can use them to *store all the email addresses* of people you communicate with, so you won't have to remember them yourself.


			-=Composing a new email=-
		
	To create a new email, click *Compose* from the toolbar near the top of the window. You will get a new window, where you can fill in the fields *To* and *Subject*. After this you can write the body into the bigger field, and send the email by clicking *Send message*. NB! Make sure you do *not* close or open other pages in the first window while writing the email. This will log you out of the system, and abort the sending.


				-=Replying to emails=-
		
	To reply to a received email, click on the email below *Subject:* from the mail window to open it, then click *Reply* from the toolbar. 


				-=Creating folders=-
		
	To create new folders, first click *Folders* near the top of the window, then click *Action: --> Create Folder*


				-=Switching between folders=-
		
	You can switch between existing folders by choosing the folder you want from the list to the top right of the window.


				-=Storing email in another folder=-
		
	To store email in another folder, first click on the email below *Subject:* to open it. Then choose the folder you want from the list to the bottom right, and click *Move* to move it.


				-=Webmail does not work - what is wrong?=-
		
	You should check the following:


			 - Are cookies turned on in your web browser?
	 - Are you behind a firewall that stops HTTPS-traffic? Your local system administrator can usually answer this question.
	 - /NB!/ Remember that you cannot close, or open another webpage in the first window (the one showing all your emails). This logs you out of the system.
