Webmail: ACCC Email on the Web

Webmail is an email reading program, one of three that are supported by ACCC at UIC. (Eudora for Windows and Macs and pine for UNIX are the other two.)

Webmail is the simplest of the three. Everything is done through a Web browser. You don't need to install or configure anything, just point your browser to:

https://webmail.uic.edu/

You should be familiar with the material in Email at UIC before you begin using Webmail.
