Questions about Mail...

What’s the difference between WebCT mail and regular email?

You may only send mail messages to other course participants and the instructor using WebCT mail. WebCT mail cannot send or receive regular Internet email.

Can I save my message and finish it later?

Yes. If you do not want to send a message immediately after you compose it, you can save it as a draft by clicking [Save Draft] at the top of the mail editor. To send a draft mail, choose Folder from the menu frame. Then choose draft - and select the one that you wish to send from the list in the message frame.

How do I find the mail addresses of my classmates?

In the message composition window, to the right of the Send to line, there is a button called "Browse". Clicking this button will pop up a list of your classmates, and you can choose any number of them to receive your message.

Can I forward mail to another class member?

Yes. Forwarding a message involves quoting the contents of a message and sending it to someone other than the sender. [Forward] will provide a text box containing a copy of the message being forwarded. In forwarding you can change the subject, and must choose the recipient (use [Browse] to find a list of your classmates).

Can I reread messages that I sent to someone?

Yes. Choose Folder from the menu bar, and then choose Outbox from the message window to see a list of messages that you've sent.
