Webmail

Webmail provides you with up to 16 email addresses using your chosen domain name: anyname@your-domain.com. This can help to build your brand. You can purchase the domain name using our DomainSaver service, or use one that you already own.

You can send and receive emails using these addresses, and manage your contacts, using an email client (such as Microsoft Outlook, QualComm Eudora or Netscape Messenger), or using a web application via any computer with Internet access.

Webmail features include:

  • 16 email accounts with the format anyname@your-domain.com

  • A web-based application for sending and receiving email, and managing your contacts online, anytime

  • Custom folders for storing your emails

  • 50MB of disk space to store your emails

  • Unlimited email forwarding to a default address (so that emails to mis-typed addresses - anything that ends @your-domain.com -  are still delivered to your domain)

  • Online help

Webmail works well with the DomainSaver service, which enables you to have a 'business card' website. You can have a page using the same domain, your-domain.com, displaying important business and contact information for your clients and prospective clients.

Security features

Webmail is protected by the Email Defense Solution to ensure that your email service keeps working. It includes:

  • Spam Filtering

  • Virus Protection

  • Whitelisting to admit wanted addresses

  • Blacklisting to deny unwanted addresses

Advanced features

Webmail also offers:

  • 1 autoresponder (to generate an automatic reply to received emails)

  • A web-based Control Panel to administer your Domain Pointer online, anytime

  • The ability to point the domain to any IP address or subdirectory you specify (only if you do not wish to use the webmail application)

Additional email features are available that can be configured to support Webmail.

How to use Webmail

1. Log into Webmail under your domain (www.your-domain/webmail).
2. Enter your email userID and password (which will be configured by the domain administrator).
3. Click "Login".

Note that a small part of your 50MB disk space for storing emails will be taken up by the HTTP protocol that's used to send and receive email. The allocation is shared between all the email accounts. If your allocation seems to be used up rapidly, check for emails with large attachments, undeleted trash and stored mails that you could delete, across all the accounts.
