VUwebmail
LOGIN: https://vuwebmail.vanderbilt.edu/
NOTE:ITS staff are currently working to resolve two known issues with VUwebmail:
1) Users sometimes get logged out quickly, or are unable to log in. Symptoms of this problem include: you are logged out prior to the 30 minute timeout; after logging in, you receive an error message that “You must be logged in to view this page.” The workaround is to access one of the mailservers directly, at https://webmailX.mail.vanderbilt.edu/webmail/ [where "X" is 1, 2, or 3]
2) VUdirectory queries from within VUwebmail sometimes do not return all results. The current workaround is to look people up through People Finder at https://phonedirectory.vanderbilt.edu/.
