How do I check my email?
1) By webmail. Each account comes with it's own web
client. Which means you can access your email from
ANYWHERE in the world! Your email can be accessed at:
http://www.yourdomain.com/webmail
Be sure to remember your username@yourdomain.com and
password as your webmail logins.
2) Set up your favorite POP3
E-Mail software to automatically retrieve your email. Simply configure your email
software for a POP3 Email Account with the following
information below:
Incoming Mail Server (POP3): mail.yourdomain.xxx
(replace .xxx with your extension)
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): mail.yourdomain.xxx
UserName: you@yourdomain.xxx
Password: (your password)
How do
I configure Outlook Express to retrieve my e-mail
automatically?
Go into your Control Panel
choose Mail Manager then Add/remove Accounts, click on "Outlook (Express) AutoConfig."
Are my
email communications private?
No email system is
completely secure, and there's always a possibility that
email can be intercepted.
Is
there some way I can ensure that my email communications
do remain private?
By encrypting your email
messages, only the recipient will be able to read the
contents (encryption requires that the recipient use a
"key" to unlock the contents of the message). One of the
most popular encryption packages available is Pretty
Good Privacy.
How can I
find my friend's email address?
Search online, one of the
most comprehensive resources is available at Yahoo!'s
People Search
I've
seen lots of unusual abbreviations and "smileys" in
online correspondence. Is there a directory of their
meanings?
Smileys, emoticons, and
other abbreviations help add a little texture to the
otherwise flat landscape of email communications. For a
listing of some of the more popular smileys, view
SMILEY.TXT and for a description of common
abbreviations and acronyms, view
ABB1.TXT.
Do you have any SPAM control?
Currently we offer SpamAssasin that comes a la carte with CPanel.
SpamAssasin is defaulted as DISABLED.
Tips to reduce spam
• Do not open
an e-mail unless you know who it is
from. If you open it, this signals that
your e-mail address is active and more
spam will follow.
• Do not reply to or
forward junk e-mail.
• Be careful
about giving out your e-mail address.
• Placing an email address on
your website invites spam. If possible
spell it out rather than using the @
symbol, for example: john [at]
email dot com.
