Logoff Instructions

File menu select Close, (or click the X) to close the web browser. You need to close the web browser so that no one else can read your email.
This step is especially important if you are using a PC that other people may use after you! Your browser saves your password, so if you do not exit the browser, the next person to use the computer could read your email.
