With our new Online Community you have more options for getting your e-mail!

You can use our WebMail system to access your email from any web browser from almost anywhere.

In addition to webmail though, you can use your favorite email client like Mail, Entourage, or Thunderbird.

Here is the basic information you will need to setup most email programs...

You can use IMAP or POP
Incoming Mail Server is mail.amugonline.org
SMTP (outgoing) Server is mail.amugonline.org
Use authentication with your password and short username (typically your first initial and last name - ex. cwaldrip)
