Web Mail using SquirrelMail
One option for reading mail at CSE is to use the SquirrelMail application via a World Wide Web browser such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc.Doing this is as simple as visiting the Webmail Webpage and logging in.
The username and password of your CSE account should be used, and SquirrelMail will only accept them over a secure connection (i.e. https: will be used even if you didn't ask for it) so it is safe to give your password.
Squirrelmail uses the CSE IMAP Service to access your mail so if you are familiar with IMAP or use a mail reader that is configured to use IMAP, then you will see some of the same mail folders.
If you have a new CSE account
If you have a new CSE account your email mailbox will be created after you log in at a lab computer or remotely over SSH. Before that the CSE IMAP service, and Webmail, will not have a mailbox to show you, so they will not work.If you are a new student your email is automatically forwarded to your UNSW student account and your CSE mailbox stays empty. Consequently, there is no point using the CSE webmail service unless you disable this forwarding.
