Email

The primary e-mail client for Engineering users is Groupwise.  Groupwise email, addresses and calendars may also be accessed through a campus website called Tigermail (http://tigermail.auburn.edu).

You may install the Groupwise client on any computer.  If you are using Groupwise from off campus from a slow connection, you should use the Tigermail website to access your mail.  If you have a high-speed connection, you can use the same Groupwise client that you use on campus.
