Bama E-mail Tools and Information
Using E-mail
- MyBama e-mail: It requires no setup and can be used from any Internet-connected computer. It is very easy to use, but does not have some of the more advanced features of other e-mail clients.
- Mail programs: You can check your Bama e-mail through a dedicated e-mail program like Outlook using either POP or IMAP.
- PINE: If you prefer a text-based e-mail client, you can use PINE.
Maintaining Your Account

- Check your disk usage and quota: If you run out of space on your account, you will not be able to send or receive e-mail.
- Set up automatic mail forwarding
- Set up a vacation mail response
- Filter e-mail from a specific e-mail address
