Webmail

Webmail was updated in Spring '06.
If you haven't used it since then, it looks a lot different, and is more user friendly!

1. To Logon, Open your browser (Probably Internet Explorer)...
   • You can access Webmail from home or work.
     • At work, it can be done through the web by following these instructions. I have done it when the Exchange (email) server was down internally but the web was up, and I got to it from "outside."
     • From home, get on the web like usual, then follow these instructions.
        
2. Click this link -  https://webmail.d11.org/ or enter it in the address bar...
        [NOTE: you must enter https ; think of the 's' as for "secure"]

   A box resembling this one opens up: (Although if you've already logged on to the system it may go straight to the login window)

   

   Click yes, and you will either proceed to the login window,
           or this Security Warning may pop up:

   

   If it does, click yes to proceed to the login window.

   NOTE: you should have your pop-up blockers DISABLED for the D-11 site,
   for your webmail may not work entirely correctly
   if you do not disable pop-up blockers!
    

   1. In the Login Window:
      Enter your Username, and your network password.
      This box looks like the one you log on to the network with at work:
      
      
      
      Click OK or press the Enter key.
       
3. Webmail Inbox
   1. The Inbox opens first.
      There are a few similarities to your regular Outlook, like the Outlook bar on the left,
      and the list of emails in your inbox is there,
      but most of the buttons look a little different, and some functions work differently.

      

       

      • You will not be able to access your Personal Folder, which resides on the computer you create it on (probably your teacher desktop in your room) or your U drive (if you put it there) rather than the Outlook Exchange server, which you access through the network.
         
   2. You can view your messages as a preview to the right, as above, or below, or not at all, by using this "Show/Hide Reading Pane" button:
      
       
   3. The look of some buttons you are most likely to be concerned with are -
      • Compose new mail message, appointment, etc.
         
      • Check for new mail
         
   4. Other buttons look very similar to your regular email; you should recognize them, but if you "mouse-over" them your computer will show you, like in the two screenshots above.
      • Delete - you can click on an email title and delete
      • Empty deleted items folder
       
4. Read your messages
   1. Click the name of the message to open and read it.
       
   2. To reply, click the Reply to sender button
       
   3. To forward, click the Forward button
       
   4. To delete this message only, click the delete button
       
5. Send email
   1. Click New or New - Message as illustrated above.
6. Find addresses
   1. Click Check Names to access email addresses in the district (The Global Address List)
      
      OR in your Contacts list! Just click the To... button and pull down the Find names in: drop-down window -
      
       
   2. Click Contacts to find addresses in your own contact list. (which you can create so as to avoid the Global Address List)
      You'll find Contacts in the lower left pane:
      
      
      
       
7. Add attachments
   1. After you have clicked on New or New - Message as instructed above, click on the Attachments button:
      
       
   2. The easiest thing to do is to click Browse and locate your file(s):
      
       
   3. THEN you must click the Attach button.
      
   4. Your file will be added to the list below Current file attachments, as will any additional files you attach.
   5. Click Close.
8. Your Outlook Calendar can be accessed through Webmail.
   1. Click Calendar in the Folder pane, upper left, or the Button Bar, lower left...
      
       
   2. Click Switch to Weekly (or Monthly) View in the toolbar above the calendar if you would like to see more of your schedule at once.
      
      
       
   3. Make a new appointment or meeting
      Double-click on a time (daily view) or a date (weekly or monthly view) to create a new appointment or schedule a meeting.
      This works very much like the desktop Outlook. In any case, it's fairly intuitive.
       

   Don't forget to Log Off when you're done!
              ...The system needs you to log off to safely close your files!

   Good Luck!
