What is Web Mail?

Answer

	•	A convenient way to check your Mid-Maine e-mail account from any computer with Internet access and a compatable web browser.
	•	A great tool for those who travel to receive their e-mail without long-distance charges.
	•	An easy to use web-based interface to a standard POP3 mailbox, works as an aid to other e-mail programs (Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, etc).
	•	A way to "preview" the contents of your mailbox before downloading them (helpful if you get a lot of mail with attachments).
	•	Faster than the previous Mid-Maine Webmail, interacting efficiently with your e-mail on our servers.

What Web Mail Is Not

	•	A program to "archive" mail. ALL mail in the WebMail INBOX and other folders is counted against your e-mail quota. If you need to save a lot of mail or receive a lot of mail with attachments, WebMail should NOT be your primary mail program.
	•	A method of sending anonymous mail or "spam". Mail sent with WebMail is identifiable just as mail sent through a regular program and subject to the same Acceptable Use Policy as with all Mid-Maine services.
