Reading your e-mail
You can read your online e-mail using NeoMail, Horde,
or SquirrelMail. All of these popular web mail applications
allow you to read your e-mail, save them, keep an address
book, and perform all of the other basic e-mail functions
that you are used to. The main difference between web
mail and an offline e-mail applications, such as Eudora
or Microsoft Outlook Express, is that all of these functions
are performed online, rather than on your own computer,
and offline applications generally provide more features.
Web mail is optional. You can still use your favorite
offline e-mail applications, if you prefer. You can
even use a combination of web mail applications and
another tool - you can check your e-mail online, perhaps
when you're at work, and download your e-mail to your
computer when you get home. You can automatically configure
Outlook
Express, or manually configure other mail applications
to read your e-mail offline.
To read your e-mail online:
-
Click on the Web Mail link in
the Mail area to access your default e-mail account,
or click on the Add/Remove accounts
link and click on the Read Webmail
button next to the account that you want to read.
Note: You can also save this
link as a bookmark, so that you can access it without
having to use CPanel.
-
Click on the web application that you would like
to use.
-
You are now in the web mail window for your default
e-mail address. Refer to the following links if
