| HowTo: |
- First, we need to logon to webmail (in this example we shall use Neomail).
This can be done in one of two ways:
- Go to Webmail in your control panel, or,
- Go to http://www.yourdomain.com/webmail.
- If requested to logon then do so (you can logon with POP username and password, or your default account username and password).
- Select Neomail (Feel free to explore the other programs, but we shall only use Neomail for this tutorial).
- If this is the first time you have used Neomail, you will have to enter some basic information (see
- If this is the first time you have used Neomail, you will have to enter some basic information (see Configuring Neomail).
).
- You should now be at the main interface, from here you can compose, read and manage your email.
- To Compose an Email:
- Click on the first icon on the toolbar (a pen writing on yellow paper).
- From here composing an email is fairly intuitive, enter all the details, Browse for any files you want to send and then click Add to add them to the email.
- When you've finished, simply click Send, and the email is sent.
- To Refresh your Email:
- Refresh your email so that you can see if any new emails have arrived, by clicking on the second icon on the toolbar(the two curved arrows).
- To Change your Preferences:
- To change the preferences you set when you first used Neomail, click the third icon on the toolbar (the spanner/wrench).
- Adding to the Address Book:
- Click on the fourth icon on the toolbar (a yellow, open book).
- Enter the name and email address of your email contact.
- Click Add/Modify.
- You will see any changes you have made, added to the address book
- Simply, click on the address when you want to send that person an email and their details will automatically be entered.
- Working with Folders:
- When organising your email messages, you can create new folders to store them in a more organised way.
- Click the fifth icon on the tooldbar (a blue folder).
- Enter a folder name, and click Add.
- Create as many folders as you like, you can always return here to delete them.
- To get back to the main menu, click the blue folder with a red arrow under it, on the toolbar.
- To see the messages in any folder, simply select the folder from the drop down menu in the top left of the toolbar.
- To move messages to a folder:
- Simply select the message by putting a cross in the box next to it (or select All at the top).
- Select the folder where you want the emails to go in the top right drop-down folder menu.
- Click Move.
- Deleting Messages:
- Any messages you place in the Neomail-trash folder, will automatically be deleted when you click the sixth icon on the toolbar (A dustbin/trashcan with a blue arrow coming from it).
- Logging Out:
- When you have finished (especially if this is a shared computer), don't forget to Logout, by clicking the seven icon on the toolbar (A blue square with a white cross through it).
