Email User Guide - Webmail

Webmail

Webmail provides a quick and secure way to check your email using a web browser.

It also provides a quick and easy interface to use in your browser when you want to add an Autoresponder to an email account.

Benefit: this task would otherwise require that you sign into your Hosting Control Account.

It enables you to access your email accounts without having to configure an Email Client on your device.

This is a useful feature when the Email Client on your device is malfunctioning or cannot connect to the Mail Server.

For example, the ISP used by your hotel is blocking the port used by your device's email client for sending mail.

Or the IP of the location you are trying to send from has been added to a block list because of heavy use by spammers.

How to access webmail in your web browser

The URL used to access webmail may vary depending upon your hosting provider, but should look something like either:

• https://webmail.yourdomain.com

or this:

• https://yourdomain.com/webmail

Substitute yourdomain.com with your own domain name :)

Then enter the username (email account name) and password for the email account you want to access.

Heads up

The HTTPS URL will not be secure unless you have added an SSL Certificate to your domain.

You can do this via your Hosting Control Panel.

Many hosting providers now offer a free Let's Encrypt SSL Certificate for use with your domain.

We recommend you take up this offer.
