E-mail
GPA Teacher provides an e-mail interface that's compatible with most e-mail systems. Note that you are
not assigned a new e-mail address via GPA Teacher. Instead, you connect up with your existing e-mail system. To use the e-mail interface, click on the
E-mail icon from the
Navigation Bar at the top of your window.
Initially, you'll see an error message indicating that GPA Teacher could not connect to an e-mail server. To connect to your own e-mail system, click on the
Settings link in the sidebar menu on the right-hand side of your window.
After the set-up process, you'll be able to read and respond to e-mails in the left-hand side of this window.
In the
E-mail Settings window, enter your e-mail address, then specify the e-mail settings regarding your e-mail server. Contact your e-mail server's system administrator to obtain the required information. If you're using
Yahoo! or
Gmail for e-mail, click on the appropriate link on the far left-hand side of your window and the appropriate fields will automatically be filled in. And rest assured that your e-mail username and password are properly encrypted.
Once you've specified the necessary fields, click on the
Update Settings button.

To send an e-mail message, click on the
Send a Message option from the sidebar menu on the right-hand side of your window. Enter the

Send Message button to send the e-mail message.
Contacts
To set up your e-mail contacts, click on the
Contacts option from the sidebar menu on the right-hand side of your window. Next, click on the
