TWD Tutorial: Webmail

Welcome to your webmail server. The purpose of this email server is to provide you with easy access to your accounts. This email system, webmail, does not have to use an email client (such as Outlook) to download email onto your computer. Instead, the email stays on the system server and you view it by logging into your account via your web page. This means that you can access your email from any computer, whenever you are.

When you log onto your webmail account for the first time, please click the "change password" link to set your own password. Please see Step #2 located below.

Your domain email account can also be set up to forward your email to an existing email account. For example, your mail at sample@yourdomain.com can be forwarded to your sample@gmail.com account. To do this, log into your webmail account following this guide and when you get to this screen, click on the "forwarding options " link.

To access your webmail, you will need to know your email address and password. These have been emailed to you by Trinity Web Designs. If you need a replacement password, please contact us.

While connected to the Internet, open your browser window and type your domain name followed by "/webmail" into the address bar. Press "enter" or click "go".

For example: www.mydomainname.com/webmail or www.mydomainname.org/webmail

A dialog box will pop up asking you for your user name and password (fig 1). Type your user name and password into the dialog box and click OK. Your user name is your complete email address, for example: youremail@yourdomain.com

Fig. 1

After the dialog box disappears, you will be taken to the Web Mail screen (fig 2). At this screen you can reset your password, and choose from three different email services (I recommend RoundCube). Click on the icon of your choice to open your email box.

(Fig 2)

After clicking on RoundCube your inbox will pop up (fig 3). This inbox is used just like your regular email client. New messages are in bold, click on a message to open it, compose mail by clicking on the "compose/write" link, place unwanted email in the trash folder, etc. You can compose emails, save addresses...everything you normally do with email.
