Your e-mail accounts can be accessed either through a Web interface or through a traditional e-mail client on your computer. If you choose to configure a client on your computer(s), you may still access e-mail on the Web when you are away from your computer. Below is a discussion of the various ways to access your e-mail.

Web access

The URL for Web access to your e-mail is http://webmail.yourdomain.tld/ (where yourdomain.tld is the your domain name). You will be prompted for your user name and password, then directed to a fully-featured Web interface for e-mail.

You may choose to use Web access exclusively, but you may risk running out of space if you don’t delete e-mails frequently (all mail is left on the server until it is deleted).

POP3 client (recommended)

POP3 is a traditional e-mail protocol by which an e-mail client on your computer (e.g. Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail) downloads e-mail from the server and stores it on your machine. Once downloaded, it is deleted from the server, reducing the risk of running out of server space. If you are away from your computer, you may still view new mail and send mail from the Web interface (see above). See instructions for configuring a POP3 client.

IMAP client

IMAP is an e-mail protocol that leaves all e-mail on the server. This is advantageous if you typically access all your e-mail (new and saved) from more than one computer, but exposes you to risk of running out of space on the server. See instructions for configuring an IMAP client.
