titleImportant Note

At this time, it is strongly recommended to make use of the GMail Web or App available for your Computer/Device.

UCSB Connect (GMail) is designed mostly for this interface and while some of the Email Client programs can access GMail, we have found users with several years worth of email have issues with Email Clients as far as responsiveness is concerned or disk space issue over time.

Our support with regards to UCSB Connect is setting up a connection, but may not extend to improving responsiveness or managing of email in general.
