Using webmail to read, send and receive

What is webmail?

Webmail is free service provided by SiteWeave. It provides a way of accessing your email account from any Internet-connected computer. Instead of using special email software such as Outlook Express or Eudora, you use a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox (our favourite).

Can I use webmail with my email account?

If your have a 'POP3' type mailbox then you can use webmail. An account of this type requires a username and password to be entered into your email software when you first set up the account. If you have been given a username and password, you can use webmail.

If your email account is just a forwarder then the answer is no. A forwarder is where your email address such a tom@mydomain.co.uk is just passed on to another email account such as tom@msn.com.

How do I start?

Open your web browser and go to:
       webmail.mydomain.co.uk - (notice that you don't need to type http:// or www)
where 'mydomain' is the domain name that SiteWeave maintains for you.

Username and Password.

You will see a something like this in your web browser. In the 'Mailbox' area, type the part of your email address in front of the domain name. For tom@mydomain.co.uk, you would just type 'tom'.
 
In the password box, type the password that SiteWeave gave you for you email account. If you have forgotten your password, give us a ring or drop us an email.

Click 'Login' and then on the next screen you are ready to read, create and send email.

Free service

This is a free service supplied by SiteWeave. It does have one limitation which you should be aware of. It does not have a 'sent' folder, so you will not have a record of emails you send using webmail. To keep track of sent email, simply send yourself a copy of any important email that you send by adding your own email address in the Bcc (blind carbon copy) section of the new mail.
