Hi. I use this with Yahoo though I prefer popping my mail. That said, using web-based mail means that assuming you have access to a computer with JAWS or some other screen reader, you can check your mail from anywhere and you have access to everything in your in-box, sent folder drafts and address book. Also too, often these web-based emails do a virus scan on the mail that is on the server level.
I say give it a shot and if you aren't happy, pop your mail to a client. I bet that can be done if you ask. I don't recommend simply not using the college email because you may miss out on a lot.

Hello, Everyone:
I attended a focus meeting at my college this afternoon with the Dean of Students and they informed me about some changes in the software that the college is using that is upcoming. One of the major changes is that all students are going to have an e-mail address through the college to use for corresponding with school contacts such as classmates and instructors and faculty. This e-mail system is going to be web based, similar to what you would find with say yahoo mail or hotmail. Does anyone use these types of e-mail clients with JAWS and if so what are some of the advantages and disadvantages to using this kind of web based e-mail system with JAWS?
Thanks,
Alicia
