Traveling?
WebMail is available for all services and is highly recommended while you are traveling. No client configurations are required and access requires only a web browser. To begin, go to: www.princeton.edu/webmail.

More Questions?
Authenticated SMTP is required for outgoing messages and SSL is required for incoming messages; sending and receiving e-mail will not work unless the configuration settings are correct. If you are using an Internet Service Provider (ISP) other than Princeton, be advised your ISP will need to provide your outgoing SMTP server setting. See: E-mail Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for detailed information.
