Abstract

GatorLink WebMail is the Web mail application designed and implemented by the UF CNS Open Systems Group to provide the UF community with Web access to the GatorLink e-mail service.

GatorLink WebMail is intended as a convenient auxiliary tool for accessing your e-mail when your regular computer is unavailable--for example, when travelling. The ability to use GatorLink WebMail to access your GatorLink e-mail from anywhere you have a Web browser makes it a valuable supplement to your regular e-mail program.
