What is I-Mail? Does this replace my current E-Mail program?

I-Mail is the name of the Internet Mail software that we use on our E-Mail server. It provides our users a means to send and receive E-Mail over the Internet using both their E-Mail program on their personal computer or viewing their E-Mail using any standard Internet browser on any computer.

What does this mean? In addition to checking your E-Mail using your E-Mail program, i.e. Microsoft Internet Mail 1.0, Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, etc. our server will allow you to view your E-Mail messages over the Internet. As an example, lets say I stop by the library. They have computers there, with an Internet connection. While I am there, I can use one of those computers to check my E-Mail without having to download my E-Mail on the computer I am using. Basically, our server takes your E-Mail message and formats it so you can view it like a web page. Another example - lets say I am out of town visiting relatives. They have a computer, and Internet access. They dial in to their Internet Service Provider, then I push them out of the way and open up Netscape. I go to our homepage, and click the link for I-Mail. I enter my username and password, and viola! I can check my e-mail without having to set up a separate E-Mail program on their computer, and I won't have to download my E-Mail to their computer.

This "Web Based E-Mail" feature is not meant to replace what you are already using. It is an additional resource for checking your E-Mail. It will prompt all users to enter their username and password each time. Your E-Mail program (i.e., Netscape Mail, Microsoft Outlook Express, Eudora, etc.) is designed to save your username and password on your personal computer, whereas this feature is accessible by everyone via the World Wide Web.
