<p>Go to <a href="http://webmail.andrew.cmu.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://webmail.andrew.cmu.edu/</a> and sign in with your andrew ID and password. All students do have accounts. I suggest downloading Thunderbird (related to Firefox) and setting it up with your email account. Webmail is nice for convenience, but a pain to write long emails in.</p>
<p>Download Thunderbird:<a href="http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/%5B/url%5D">http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/</a>
Configure Thunderbird: <a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/%7Ehelp/mail_news/xp_thunderbird/xp_thunderbird.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~help/mail_news/xp_thunderbird/xp_thunderbird.html</a></p>
<p>Also, subscribe to misc market (bboard where people sell stuff like textbooks and gossip about campus events) by going to folders in your webmail and subscribing to cmu.misc.market .</p>
