Your starting page will look like this...
You can add your "identity" to the program so you can get your TC mail.
 
Assuming you already have an Internet Service Provider  (ISP) that you can dial up with a modem from your home this will allow the program to utilize the outgoing mail address of your ISP (i.e. aol.com, flash.net, txk.net etc.)
 
 
 
 
this is so simple even a biologist can do it! 

You should now be able to access your TC email from your home computer.
