The DLS Helpdesk has recently upgraded its Webmail Interface and now it closely resembles Microsoft Outlook. This new version of Outlook Webmail is faster and has many new features. Below you will see a list of all the new features and how to access them.
Out of Office:
Webmail allows you to set your out of office message, it now gives you the option to set a start and end date as well as the option to set a message for internal emails (@biology) and a separate message for external emails (@hotmail, @yahoo, etc).
This can be accessed by going to Options in Webmail on the upper right hand corner and clicking on Out of Office Assistant.
Junk E-Mail Filter:
You can manage your junk mail filter and Rules from Webmail as well. Here you will see your safe and blocked senders list that you already have setup in Outlook. This is also accessed through Options and works the same way as the Outlook Junk Mail Filter & Under Rules.
Change DLS Password:
Webmail now provides all DLS users the option to change their DLS password. This password includes what you use for email, logging into the desktops in the DLS and wireless and DLS VPN connections. Once you change the password there it changes it for everything. Also accessed Through Options and Change Password.
Mobile Device Remote Wipe:

For anyone who has a handheld
device with their DLS email account setup using Exchange has
access to use this feature. You can remove devices that you
are no longer using, as well as add new devices. If you
forget your device password, you can access it here. If you
lose your phone or mobile device, you can initiate a remote
device wipe to protect your information.

you click on the address book icon you can also view the entire Global Address
list.
