The easiest way to check your email is to use our webmail program. To access your email via webmail, simply go to one of our webmail client interfaces available at webmail.mayfirst.org.
All email clients need your settings for incoming mail (aka POP or IMAP) and for outgoing mail (aka SMTP). Your incoming mail will be either POP or IMAP. If you are given a choice, we suggest you choose IMAP.
The settings below should get you going, but if you get stuck or your eyes are already glazing over, try looking up your email client in the list of "how to" items below.
Be sure to replace "YOURUSERNAME" with your actual username.
