Using Webmail

To ensure that people can get to their e-mail quickly and easily, the University maintains a Web-based client on one of its servers. The client we are currently using is called Webmail. You can use Webmail to get your GUMail from almost any computer that has Internet access. Simply start your Web browser and go to https://gumail.georgetown.edu/.
