Accessing E-mail
 
Students & staff can read messages sent to their IT Services e-mail address using the IT Services Webmail facility or an e-mail program (e.g. Mozilla Thunderbird & MS Outlook).

  • IT Services Webmail - All users with an IT Services e-mail address can check their e-mail through Webmail as follows:

    1. Visit http://www.its.um.edu.mt/webmail/
    2. Type the IT Services User Id. e.g. jbor0001
    3. Type the password.
    4. Click 'Login' button.
    5. Click the message to read.
    6. To exit Webmail, click 'Logout' button.
      7.

    It is suggested that students use the IT Services Webmail facility to access e-mail on IT Services workstations. This ensures that the messages will remain on the mail server and can therefore be accessed on other computers off campus.


  • Mozilla Thunderbird - is the university supported e-mail program. Staff & students are encouraged to use Thunderbird to access their e-mail from home/office computers.

    Thunderbird is available for download from the IT Services Downloads page. Members of staff can borrow the Mozilla CD from IT Services Reception desk.

    Step-by-step instructions to download, install & configure Thunderbird are available through this page.

    Following installation & configuration of Thunderbird, e-mail can be accessed as follows:

    1. Launch Thunderbird. The Mail Server Password Required dialog box will be displayed.
    2. Enter the e-mail password.
    3. Click 'OK' button. The headers of mail messages appear in the top half of the window.
    4. Click the header to display the related message in the lower part of the window.
      5.

    Once you open Thunderbird as instructed above, you only have to click on 'Get Mail' button to check for any new messages.
