WHOI's Webmail service

The webmail system at http://webmail.whoi.edu/ and also available using a Secure server at https://webmail.whoi.edu/ is easy enough to use right away, but as we develop more experience with it we'll add items of interest on this page.

We would like WHOI email users to begin using webmail for their away-from-the-office use. We need to decommission NSexpress soon and have chosen July 1 as a reasonable date.

If there is any reason to delay replacing NSexpress with webmail, please contact us at the CIS Helpdesk.

Details:

  • A brief training for the new system will be available in mid-May.
  • webmail.whoi.edu is really imp (we thought it would be an easier URL to remember). Some of you became familiar with imp when it was offered as a trial service from aozora.whoi.edu.
  • we prefer that all users use https://webmail.whoi.edu/, which is the Secure server version, but some browsers are incapable of handling the encryption necessary. If you try the secure site and your browser crashes, you could consider upgrading your browser.
  • NSexpress has been used at WHOI for remote access to email for almost 6 years. It is part of the very old Netscape Enterprise Server suite, which we are eager to decommission.

If you have any difficulties or questions, please contact the CIS Helpdesk.
