Using Webmail (Neomail)

You can read your online email using NeoMail. This webmail script allows you to read your emails, save them, keep an address book, and perform all of the other basic email functions that you are used to. The main difference between NeoMail and an offline email application, 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 many more features.

NeoMail is optional. You can still use your favorite offline email applications, if you prefer. You can even use a combination of NeoMail and another tool - you can check your e-mail online, perhaps when you're at work, and download your email to your computer when you get home. You can automatically configure Outlook Express, or manually configure other email software applications.

To read your email online:

1. Click on the Read Web Mail link in the Email Management area to access your default email account, or click on the Add / Remove accounts link and click on the Read Webmail link next to the account that you want to read.

   Note: To go directly to Webmail, so that you can access it without having to use CPanel, go to:

   http://yourip/webmail (replace yourip with the IP that you were given in your welcome/setup email)

   or

   http://yourdomain.com/webmail (replace yourdomain.com with your domain name)

    

2. You are now in the NeoMail window for the email address you chose to login to. Note: The first time you login to NeoMail, it will ask you to fill out a form for how you want your webmail to work. You can change this information at any time by clicking on the wrench in the upper left corner of Neomail.

NeoMail is fairly self-explanatory. The text below describes the main buttons in NeoMail and what they do. This is provided as a summary reference, and not a detailed description of how to use NeoMail. If you do not know how to use some of the features, please contact your hosting administrator.

Note: You can not use HTML code in NeoMail - plain text only.
