AOL Users: If you use AOL for internet access, please note the AOL browser does not work with this account. Once you have made your AOL connection, you can run another browser such as Netscape, Internet Explorer or Firefox to access this account.

Managing Your Account
- Account Quota: Please note there is a 5MB size limitation on your mail account. This includes a combination of all mail and attachments found in your inbox, sent, draft and any other folders in your account.
- To check you account size: click on the Folders button on the menu bar and you will see a summary of all your folders with a total disk space usage number in the lower right corner.
- Once your account reaches 5 MB in size, you will receive warning messages from the postmaster of the system. Any mail being sent to you will bounce back to the sender, so it is important that you do not retain unnecessary messages in this account. It is recommended that you use this account for BHCC purposes only, especially since the College will be sending various official communications to you at this address.
- Forwarding E-mail: In order to ensure that your account never goes into an “over-quota” status, you may forward the mail being received at your BHCC account to another account you already are using such as Yahoo or Hotmail. Instructions for doing this are found under the Option button on the menu bar, then click Settings and scroll down to the bottom, Mail Forwarding. In the box, enter the e-mail address that you want your mail forwarded to, then click Save Changes.
