Email Training/Logging in


Everyone has their own unique email account and associated email address. When you log in, you enter your username and password, which identifies your email account. For your CAMA email, your username is your email address. Usually, people keep their password private so that only they can log into their account and read and send emails from their email address.

When you go to the home page of your email service, like http://mail.camanetwork.org, you will see where you need to log in, typing in your email address and password.

When you are done reading and sending emails, you can 'log out'. There is a link on the top right of your email pages that you can click on to do this. It reads 'Log out'.

You might use other web based email services in the future, such as Yahoo, or Hotmail. These work mostly the same way as your CAMA email service, though some details are different.
