Accessing Squirrelmail outside the school

Teachers and students will be able to access their mail by going to http://mail.myschool.latis.net.au
then providing their LATIS User ID and password.

NOTE: 'myschool' indicates your school's Internet name which is the first 5 characters
of the school name followed by the relevant identifier:

hs = high school
as = area school
cec = community education centre
soa = school of the air
sch = all other schools

examples:
Taminmin High School = 'taminhs'
Parap Primary School = 'parapsch'

Saving Sent Messages

Once you have sent a message in SquirrelMail you can go back and retrieve it from
your 'INBOX Sent' folder.

However in SquirrelMail you are not able to go back to your message when a sending
error occurs. If you have composed a long message it is a good idea to highlight the message you have written and press 'Ctrl+C' to copy it to your clipboard before
clicking 'send'.

That way if there is a sending error, you can simply open a new 'compose' window
and paste the clipboard message back in by pressing 'Ctrl+V'. It saves you having
to retype your message again.

Alternatively you can type up your message in StarOffice and copy from that
document into SquirrelMail.
