Access
The new web-based mail system is accessed through your web browser by going to http://mail.intnet.net, whereupon you will see this:
The "Directory" button would normally allow users to view the list of email addresses of other users on the system. For your privacy, access rights are not granted for this function.
If you want to send "Mail to Postmaster" you can press this button and an email form will pop up.
To access Email please enter your full login name (example: johndoe583@intnet.net) and password, then press "Enter" and you should go directly to your Inbox, which will look something like this:
Clarification
The term "Mailbox" can be interchanged for "folder". You can create folders within your mailbox if you wish to store emails by category.
First Things To Do
Create a "Sent" folder by clicking on the [Add] link next to @ Mailboxes.
Next type "Sent" in the field under "Mailbox name" and then press the "Create" button.
Click on the Settings button
to go to that interface and you will see something like this:
Settings
Scroll down the Settings page to "Trash Management". From a practicality standpoint it is suggested that one change the "Message Delete Method" from "Mark" to "Move to Trash". So click in the area next to "Message Delete Method" and select "Move to Trash". A "Trash" folder will be created in the main mailbox area once you have deleted a message.
Once you have changed this, press the "Update" link at the top of the page, wait a few seconds, and then press the "Mailboxes" button at the top of the page.
When you have deleted a message the "Trash" folder will be created and also an "Empty Trash" button will be created just below "Create Mailbox". More will be covered about "Settings" later.
Scroll down again until you see something like this:
Click in the area next to "Display" and select 100.
Click in the area next to "Refresh Every" and select at least 3 minutes.
Scroll down further until you see "Default Mailboxes".
Click in the area next to "Save Sent Messages in" and select "Sent".
If you wish to create a "Drafts" folder in which to save messages that you don't want to send immediately or to store email templates, then create the "Drafts" folder as previously mentioned. Then click on "Settings" and scroll down to the "Default Mailboxes" area, click on the box next to "Store Draft Messages in" and select "Drafts" and then click the "Update" button to save all your changes.
Once this is done a "Save As Draft" button will be created in the composition window. More on composition below.
Mailboxes
Creating Mailboxes
To create a new mailbox you will once again select the [Add] link next to @ Mailboxes, type the mailbox name, then click on the "Create" link. (Reminder: Follow the instructions above for creating a "Sent" mailbox - "First Things To Do".)
Mailbox Filter
The Mailbox Filter is at the bottom of the mailbox area with an input area labeled Filter.
If you have created so many folders that they cannot all be seen, you can type in the name of the desired mailbox and press the Display button to make it clickable.
InBox
To access new mail, click on "InBox" and you will see something like this:
Note that this has the regular buttons you have seen before at the very top of the window, and also some new ones.
To the left of the "@ Mailbox" is a Question Mark icon
which leads to online help. The Question Mark icon can be found throughout this interface. There are also two more features; the "Displaying" dropdown menu
and the "Mark All" icon
. The "Mark All" feature is especially useful in selecting items to move to the Trash or another mailbox.
