Gmail/Email Web Interface

Accessing Gmail

There are multiple ways to access your Gmail account to use the web interface.

The simplest way is to click on the Google Mail  and Google Calendar  icons from your apps dashboard at login.pugetsound.edu.

If you are already working in Google Drive, click the apps menu to find Gmail and Calendar.

You may also go to webmail.pugetsound.edu or mail.google.com/a/pugetsound.edu from a web browser and log in with your Puget Sound credentials.

IMPORTANT: if you go to mail.google.com, be sure to enter your full Puget Sound email address (e.g. jlogger@pugetsound.edu). If you are logged in to a personal Gmail account already (e.g. jlogger123@gmail.com), click the circle in the upper right and click Add another account. Enter your username@pugetsound.edu email address, click next, and log in with your Puget Sound credentials. To switch between accounts, click the circle and select which account you would like to use.
