Access to Eagle Mail available on web
Eagle Mail users, who number more than 3,000 people in the Emory community, are now able to access their accounts from the web.

The new webmail service provided by the Information Technology Division (ITD) is available at http://webmail.service.emory.edu. Users must enter their user IDs (userid@emory.edu) and their password. Once logged in, users will have full access to their Eagle Mail accounts.

In addition to sending and receiving e-mail, webmail allows users access to e-mail folders and personal address books. It also includes a mail-filtering option that can be used to designate spam for automatic deletion. No new software is necessary; all that is needed is an Eagle Mail account and Internet access.

Questions can be directed to the ITD Customer Support Center at help@emory.edu or 404-727-7777.
