Here are a few tips for using the Williams Webmail system, put on Willipedia thanks to an anonymous '10. You will need these after you sign up for 20 clubs at Purple Key. :P
1. '''Expand beyond your inbox.''' You can add additional folders beyond the Inbox, Drafts, Sent, and Trash folders. My additional folders include one for the Daily Messages, one for blog comment notifications, one for Outling Outing Club messages, and more for other groups.

2. '''Message Filters.''' For example, I have my filters set to send anything with "Daily Messages" in the title to the folder I made for them. You can also automatically forward messages from certain people to another e-mail address as well. You do this by....
7. '''Use the search.''' Webmail search is fast and easy to use - it's my quickest way of finding old messages. (I save everything, so I need search to look through all 7999 messages in my inbox or >2000 messages in the folders.)
8. '''Send messages with bolding/italics''', etc, with HTML. In the compose window, click "HTML Text" in the top right. The button in the right of the toolbar is for making links. The HTML option is not available on all browsers.
And lastly, if you don't have time to reply to e-mails, don't open them. Otherwise, you forget to reply because of the volume of messages you get, and whoever sent you the message is left in the dark. The other thing to take away from this is that '''if people forget to reply to your e-mail, don't be offended.'''
