To avoid confusion with passwords, your network username and password are exactly the same as your e-mail username and password. Basically, you have one username and password to remember for both your computer login and your e-mail accounts. When you are on the Waterford School District Network, and you are prompted to change your password, (as you are every 90 days) the new password you select will immediately take effect for both your login to the network and your e-mail login.

When you open your e-mail, you will see a box pop up asking for your username and password. It will display your e-mail name in the user name box. Delete this and type in the username and password that you type in each morning to log on to your computer. That's it!  You will not be asked to do this next time you open your e-mail.

Wait, there's more...Do you check your e-mail using the web? Now when you open up Internet Explorer, go to http://mail.wsdmi.org, and it will ask you for your username and password.

Below is information that displays a contrast of the current version of email:

ACCESSING E-MAIL FROM THE WEB

E-Mail Representation

This is the way that e-mail is set up. The following pictures represent  e-mail in Microsoft Outlook, and on the Internet. The first two pictures show you how e-mail works when you are on the Internet. It looks just like Outlook; however, you are in your Internet browser. You may use this option to check your e-mail from any location that has a connection to the Internet.

Here is how the login appears on the web:

A box will pop up asking you to log on. You will need to add the district name, followed by a  \  and your username, then, your password in the password field. 
Login for John Smith would appear as the following:

 Waterford\SmithJ01

Your password will be the same. DO NOT type in anything into the box labeled domain. After you log on, your familiar Outlook e-mail will appear. You will need to do this each time you go to get your mail via the web.

If you've logged in successfully on the web, you will see this page:
