Introducing the web-based email program called Openwebmail (a replacement for Neomail) which can be accessed via a browser http://mail.eis.net.au or for our Web Hosting clients type www.yourdomainname.com.au/webmail is proving to be a great success. |
|||
There are many benefits for using Openwebmail as we have detailed below: |
|||
* You are free to read emails from computers other than your own computer ie, work, internet cafes, on holidays, etc. |
|||
* Openwebmail gives you the option of checking and deleting your emails without actually downloading them into your mail program-this is beneficial, specifically where problems like computer viruses are concerned. |
|||
* If you are having trouble downloading your emails with your email program, log onto Openwebmail and check to see that you haven't got a particularly large email clogging your mailbox. This allows you to delete the problem email without trying to wait for it to download on your computer. |
