1. Open up IE (if you use other browsers, you will see a different webmail interface with fewer features.)
2. Go to http://www.yourwebsiteaddress.com:3000,(make sure you have the http:// infront of your address) log in using your Full email address as the username and then fill in the password field
3. You should see a screen similar to the following picture (click for a larger view)

This is a fairly close re-creation of Outlook. If you are comfortable with that, it should not take long to get used to webmail. If you are wondering why all of your messages are not here, they are removed from the server when Outlook downloads them, and this Webmail runs from the server. Contact nick@300x.ca or tom@fifthav.com if you would like messages to stay on the server. The only folders you should be concerned with are Inbox, Drafts, Sent Items, Deleted Items, and Junk Email.

Inbox is where new emails will show up, drafts are messages you have written that you have decided to keep for now, sent items is the list of emails you have sent, deleted items is like the recycle bin - a safety measure to prevent accidental permanent deletion, and Junk email where spam may show up. You should frequently check Junk email and the recycle bin.

 

Along the top you should see a bar like this:

From left to right the buttons are:

• New Email
• Print current email
• Copy/Move selected emails to another folder
• Delete Email
• Reply to current email
• Reply to current email, send to all
• Forward current email
• Forward current email as an attachment
• View previous email
• View next email
• Jump to next unread message
• View message source
• Change view format. There is a dropdown arrow to the right. You can use this to select whether you would like the email preview to be to the right of the email list, or below it.
• Get mail - refreshes the current view to check for any messages that may have just arrived. Webmail usually updates every few minutes but you may want to check sooner than that sometimes.
• Next to last is Search
• Empty Trash is the last one. When you delete a message, it isn't actually completely gone yet. When you hit this button, then it is erased. It is a good idea to preview the trash folder one last time before you hit this, because the deleted messages will then be gone.

Hitting the New Email button will cause this window to pop up. If it does not and you see a yellow bar show up in IE, click that bar and select 'Always allow popups from this site'.

The text formatting functions are similar to the ones in outlook and word. The buttons along the top are:

• Send Now - the email will be sent.
• Send Later - The message will NOT be sent. It will be saved in your Drafts folder.
• Spell Check
• Advanced - Click this button to display additional options. (Reply-To:, BCC: and priority settings will appear)
• Attach a file
• Address Book
• Cancel - Closes the window, message will not be saved.
