Regardless of whether you are off campus or on campus you can check your e-mail from any computer as long as it has access to the Internet (World Wide Web). Once you're connected to the Internet, point your browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Firefox, etc.) to http://webmail.hamilton.edu.
On the login page, fill in your Login ID (omit '@hamilton.edu') and e-mail password. When you click on Login, Sun Java Systems Communications Express will open and display your Inbox. The e-mail messages in Messenger Express are actually on the mail server itself.
