EE WebMailer
If you want to access your eMail from a place where you do not have access to your mailprogram, you might want to use the EE Web-Mailer. It works somewhat like HotMail, just a bit different ... but read on
The EE Web-Mailer provides you with the probably simplest means of accesing your eMail. All you need is a javascript-enabled and SSL-encryption capable Web browser (Internet Explorer and FireFox come to mind). With that you can access your eMail at the Web address https://email.ee.ethz.ch. You must specify your NETHZ Account username and password.
If you use the SSL-encrypted access to the EE Web-Mailer both your username and password as well as your actual eMails are transmitted over the Internet in encrypted form. They are thus safe from unauthorized listeners.
