Using e-mail (electronic mail) you can send mail to other students or the instructor.

The email icon in WebCT allows users to send e-mail to other WebCT users. WebCT also allows for mail to be forwarded to any Internet mail address if the administrator allows it.

This icon will be displayed if you have new mail.

Viewing Folders

When you have new mail, click on the mail icon (or the Mail course menu item). You will see a page showing your mail folders. Select the folder you wish to view by clicking on the folder link.

The menu icons on this page perform the following actions

	To compose a new message
	Search for text in a message
	Create, delete and rename mail folders
	Move messages to folders or delete

Why not send an email to the instructor to introduce yourself ?

Or maybe to the whole class ?
