Campus computer are configured to use Thunderbird to access this email account. From home you can browse to Webmail at: http://mail.uas.alaska.edu/

Webmail
Email can be accessed from any web browser, anywhere in the world!
Please note that webmail has a 4 hour inactivity timeout. This is great, but if you experience a loss of connection to the server due to your internet connection, you will lose what has not been sent or saved as a draft. To get around this, you might save a draft periodically, or use another program (like MS Word, or Notepad) to write your message. If you try sending a message after the timeout period or connection drop has occured, your message content will be discarded.
