Summary: Check your UCSD e-mail account from anywhere on mail.ucsd.edu. You can use an e-mail client or your Web browser.

Note: These instructions are for the central campus system, mail.ucsd.edu. If you're on a different server, contact your department's system administrator or the ACT Help Desk.
