This
feature allows you to retrieve your email from any computer by logging
into your control panel.
To
access this feature, log into your control panel and click on Read Web
Mail
You
can also access this feature directly from your browser by entering your
URL followed by :2095. For example, if your domain is abc.com, you would
enter http://www.abc.com:2095.
The
first time you enter Webmail a screen will pop up asking you to answer
some simple questions that will configure the program for your use. After
saving your answers, the Webmail program will start and you'll be taken
to the screen that shows your Inbox.
Please
Note: When you access Webmail from the welcome screen in your control
panel, you will only be able to receive email sent to your default address.
If you would like to check messages for a different email address you will
need to access Webmail from the Add/Remove Accounts menu or by accessing
Webmail directly from your browser by entering the following URL: http://www.yourdomain.com:2095.
When you are then prompted for username and password make sure you enter
the full username and the password of the email account you wish to check
email for.
Using
Webmail
At
the top of the screen you will find control panel icons as shown in the
graphic below.
Click
on icons shown here for an overview of each tool:
Compose
New Message
Choosing
this option will open a screen for creating a new email message. The default
information you entered in the configuration (the answers to the questions
the program asked when you first started it) will appear in the correct
boxes, so you only have to fill in two boxes: the email address of the
person you want to send your message to, and the subject line.
Additional
Options Include:
CC
This
means Carbon Copy. Add additional addresses here if you want to send a
copy of the email to more than one person. Separate addresses with a comma,
but do not add a space between them:
friend@email.com,friend2@email2.com,friend3@email3.com
BCC
This
means Blind Carbon Copy. When you use the Carbon Copy option above, all
the email addresses you entered will appear in the header of each recipient's
message. You may not want all the addresses to show in the headers, either
because you don't want the main recipient to know you are sending copies
to others, or because you don't want to publish everyone's email address
without their permission. If you don't want the email addresses to show,
place them in the BCC box instead of the CC box. Add them the same way
as before, separated by commas but without any spaces between.
Attachment
You
can attach a file to your email message by clicking on the Browse button
and choosing the file that you want to send. However, remember that many
of the files on your computer are quite large in comparison to email messages.
If the file is too big, the recipient's ISP my reject it, or the recipient
may choose not to open it due to excessive download time.
You
can add a signature to your your message by simply replacing the NeoMail
message with one of your own. A signature is a short message that appears
at the end of every email you send. Links can be added to your signature
by typing the full URL. For example:
Visit
my site at http://mysite.com
This
will appear in the recipient's email as:
Visit
my site at http://mysite.com
Recipients
will be able to visit your site by clicking on the link.
NOTE:
Do not use anchor tags. Just type the URL as illustrated above. Some older
email programs can't translate clickable links. The recipient will be able
to visit your site by using copy and paste to place the URL into their
browser.

option allows you to make changes to the preferences you entered when you
accessed the program for the first time. Simply make any changes you want,
then click on the Save button at the bottom of the page.
NOTE:
If you decide not to make any changes at this time, click the Cancel button
at the bottom of the page rather than using your browser's back button.

Book
Click
on this button to add entries to your Address Book. The address book provides
you with a quick way to send email. Just click on the Address Book icon
and a list of names with email addresses will appear. Click on the email

window will appear with their address already filled in.

to Webmail Panel Graphic
Folders
This
tool allows you to add folders to your NeoMail program so you can more
easily organize your messages. For example, you may want to add a folder
named Work and place all your work-related messages there.
When
you click on the button, a box will appear where you can type a name for
the new folder. Click on Add, then click the Back button on your browser
a couple of times to get back to the main window. Then click the Refresh
button and the new folder name will appear in the drop down list of folders
at the top of the NeoMail screen.
