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.

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.
