03.06 - Remote Email

Accessing your UCAR Gmail account remotely is simple:
Open any browser and go to www.gmail.com

Gmail is entirely web-based, so there's no need to configure an e-mail client, nor do you need to use the NCAR VPN to securely access your mail when you're at home or out of the country.

Caution

Because web-based e-mail is easier to access, you also need to be especially careful to leave no tracks when you are accessing your mail from any system other than your own.

  • Do not save your password if prompted!
  • It's not enough to close the browser when you're finished, be sure to sign out of your email.
  • Clear all you browsing data.
