Using webmail to read, send and receive

MUCH IMPROVED WEBMAIL SERVICE

Our webmail service has been much improved and now includes some very useful features:

• A 'Sent Folder' now keeps a copy of emails sent from your webmail account
• Email Address Book - keeps a record of your favourite email addresses so you don't have to type them in - just like Outlook / Outlook Express. And you can import email addresses
• Create your own Folders just like Outlook / Outlook Express - create a new folder to keep emails on a specific topic or sent by a specific sender (look for 'Utilities / Folder Manager')
• Space Quota - see how much space your have left so you know when to clean up your folders and empty your Trash folder
• Set Message Options such as reply address, email footer message, automatically moving messages to specific folders, etc - again, just like Outlook

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.
