| What does 'Remember my name and password' mean? |
| When you sign in with your name, your browser can remember your user name and password. Check the box and you won't have to enter this information each time you come back. If you don't log in for some time, this information will be forgotten. |

Should I be concerned about security? |
|
If you are concerned that other people might try to access your email account, do not use this option. If you do, be sure to click 'Sign Out' when you leave your computer, which ensures that you will be asked for your login information the next time anyone accesses this webmail from your computer. DO NOT use this option if you use a shared computer (in a library, Internet cafe, university, airport or other common area). |
|
What if I change my mind? |
| You can always sign out at any time by clicking the 'Sign Out' link at the top of each page. This will erase the stored login information. Once you've signed out, you can sign in again and choose whether or not your browser should remember your login information. |
