Webmail
All Amigo Hosting accounts come with free
web-based access to email. You may access your email via the web at the
following url: http://webmail.example.com
(make sure to replace "example.com" with your
domain)
It's already set up, easy to use, and accessible from anywhere you can get to
the web.
To log in, enter your
email address
and password into the login form and submit.
Please note that
webmail
uses IMAP
instead of POP, which means it leaves your email messages on our
server
and won't mess up any other
email client
(Outlook for example) you might normally use to check your email.
If you don't see any email messages in your inbox when you log in (but you
normally do when you use your other email client), it's because your other email
client is set to use
POP3
and not keep messages on
the server. That's fine of course, but it means that the only copy of that email
is on the computer running your email client, and not our
servers
(where you can access it via the web).
To make copies of your outgoing mail in a "Sent" folder you must do the
following. If you don't already see a "sent" folder in the listing on the left,
you'll have to create one. Do this by going to "Folders" and creating a folder
named "Sent" that is a sub-folder of NONE. Then just go to the Options area,
then click on the "Folder Preferences" and choose that "Sent" folder as the
"Sent Folder:" setting there!
Note: If you want to access
your web mail securely, you can. Just go to https://webmail.example.com/.
Some error messages will
pop
up, but if you just accept them (or even better, import the certificate into
your browser), your connection will be encrypted and your username and password
won't be going across the Internet as plain text anymore.
