Why aren any email programs installed on CAEN computers?

While CAEN supports several email programs for use on personal computers, CAEN does not install any programs on its PCs in the CAEN computer labs. Installing email clients with POP capabilities is dangerous in a public computing environment such as CAEN’s. If configured improperly, this could allow users to mistakenly download their entire inbox to the hard drive of the computer. If you need to check your email on a CAEN PC, or any publicly-used computer, CAEN recommends using the Webmail program available online at: http://mail.umich.edu/ Webmail can be accessed from any platform using a web browser.
