WebMail, IE Popups and Service Pack 2

I installed Service Pack 2, and now I can't reply or compose new email using UMD's Webmail.

Service Pack 2 adds an automatic "popup blocker" for Internet Explorer. If your Internet security settings are set too high, this automatic popup blocker will not allow Webmail to initiate a popup window to reply or compose.

Solution 1

Reset your IE security options to medium:

• Start IE and select Tools - Internet Options from the top menu.
• Select the Security tab.
• Click on the Internet icon, then set the security to "medium".

Solution 2

Click the "Popup" bar, and select "Allow pop-ups from this site". You will need to do this once for each Webmail server you connect to (there are currently 4 Webmail servers).
