Mobile Web Client

Overview

Stanford's Mobile Web Client at http://mobilemail.stanford.edu is designed to let you view your Stanford Email & Calendar using a web browser on a mobile device. You can access your mail, contacts, calendar, and email folders using this interface.

The Mobile Web Client contains a reduced-features set of the web client. Some of the features, such as Task Lists and the Preferences menus, are not available in the Mobile Web Client.

Mail

To access the messages in your Inbox, click the Mail icon on the toolbar.

Click a message to open it. Once a message is open, you can Reply, Reply All, or Forward it.

To compose a new mail message:

1. Click Compose in the upper-right corner of any mail window to open a blank message window.
2. Complete the To:, Cc:, and Subject,line as necessary.
   Note: To use an addressee from your Contact list, type the first few characters of the Contact name slowly, and a list of addresses that match those characters will be displayed.
3. Enter the body of the message below the Subject line.
4. Click Send to send the message, Cancel to delete the message and return to the previous window, or Save to save the message to your Drafts folder. (If you save the message, click Cancel until you exit the message window.)

Some Mail features that are not available with the Mobile Web Client include:

• Adding an attachment to a message.
• Spell checking a message.
• Adding BCC addresses to a message.
• Viewing messages in conversation view. (Messages are displayed as a list in the order they are received, with the most recent message displayed first.)

Contacts

Click the Contacts icon to display the address books that reside in your Stanford Email & Calendar Web Client.

You can add a new contact using the Mobile Web Client but the information you are allowed to enter is very limited compared to the Web Client.

To add a new contact to an existing address book:

1. Click the Contacts icon on the toolbar.
2. Click an address book to display the contacts in it.
3. Click Add in the upper-right corner of the window.
4. Fill out the Add Contact form and then click Add.

To address an email to a contact:

1. Click the Contacts icon on the toolbar.
2. Click an address book to display the contacts in it.
3. Click the email address (listed directly under the name) of the person to whom you want to send an email. A message window will open with the email address entered in the To: field.

Some Contact features that are not available with the Mobile Web Client include:

• Adding and deleting address books.
• Adding contacts from a message header.

Calendar

Click the Calendar icon on the toolbar to display your calendar.

Whatever calendars you have turned on in the full Web Client when you log into the Mobile Web client is what is displayed. This provides a way for you to view any of your calendars on your mobile device.

To see the details of a meeting, appointment, or event, click the title.

The Calendar is view-only.

Some Calendar features that are not available with the Mobile Web Client include:

• Adding or deleting meetings, appointments, or events.
• Responding to invitations from within the Calendar. (You can reply to an invitation from email only.)

Folders

Click the Folders icon on the toolbar to display your email folders. This allows you to access your saved mail.

Folders that are nested in the full Web Client appear after the parent folder but are not visually distinct from any other folder.

More Information

• Stanford Email & Calendar keyboard shortcuts do not work in the Mobile Web client.
