Configuring Webmail
The first time you access webmail for a particular pop account
you will be prompted to fill out a brief preferences section.
This will automatically set up the necessary files for your account,
and save those settings for future access.
User Preferences
The user preferences page
is where you make changes to the default settings for a pop account's
webmail settings.
Real name - Enter the real
name you want to show in the reply address.
Reply address - Enter the
full e-mail address that you want your messages to be replied
to.
Style button - Allows you
to change the webmail color scheme for that pop account.
Default sort - The default
method that your messages will be sorted by when you view them
in webmail.
Default headers - Gives
you the option of viewing all headers or simple headers.
Headers - The information
about how your message was sent and the various places it may
have been relayed.
Custom signature - A statement
that will be appended to all your out going messages.
Address Book
The address book is where
you can enter the names and e-mail addresses of people you want
to send messages to instead of having to retype them every time
you send a message. When in the address book screen, you
can add people by entering their name and email address. You
can modify existing entries by clicking on the name and editing
it. Refresh
The refresh link refreshes
the page your are currently looking at to reflect the most current
changes (new message, moved messages, etc.). Log-out
The log-out link logs the
current pop account out and takes you to the log in screen.
Real name - Enter the real
name you want to show in the reply address.
Reply address - Enter the
full e-mail address that you want your messages to be replied
to.
Style button - Allows you
to change the webmail color scheme for that pop account.

method that your messages headers or simple headers.
will be sorted by when you view them
in webmail.

Headers - The information
about how your message was sent and the various places it may

Screen
The first page encountered after
installation is the user log-in name. The User ID
is the name of the pop account that you want to use. This can
be the name of any valid pop account that you have set up. The
password text box is the password for that pop account.
Mail Boxes / Webmail Functions
The inbox screen is the first
page you see after a successful log-in. Here you can find
all your new messages and ones that haven't been moved or deleted.
To read a message, click on its
subject. This screen is the basic format of all the various
screens of webmail. At the top the current mailbox (you
can navigate between mailboxes by clicking on this button) and
total messages, total size of messages is displayed. Below
that are links that take you to pages for composing a message,
changing user preferences, an address book, refreshing the current
page, and logging out of webmail.
If you have many messages, you
can jump to them by using the arrows at the top or specify a page
to view.
Next to the arrows is the trash
button. This will send the current message (selected with
the trash button next to the name) to the trash folder.
If you check the check all button, it will select all messages
in this folder and move them to the trash folder. Sending
mail to the trash does not delete the message but simply moves
it. If you want to empty your trash, enter the trash folder.
Mark items in the same manner as before but instead of moving
them, the trash folder deletes them with the delete button in
the upper right corner.
At any time if you are in a screen
and want to go back, either use the folder drag down button or
the back to button at the top of the screen.
Under the menus and button at the
top are the actual messages for this pop account. The first
category is status. A paper clip will show up if there is an attachment
in the message.
The following descriptors are fairly
standard:
Date - Shows the date that
the message was received.
Sender - The sender of the
message
Subject - The subject of
the message
Size - The size of the
message and trash button selects the message to be moved to the
trash folder.
Compose Page
The compose page is where you compose
and send messages. The functions here are very similar to
those found in conventional e-mail clients. The lines are fairly
self explanatory:
To - The full e-mail address
to whom your sending this message.
CC - Carbon copy. Placing
a full e-mail address here also sends your message to the CC
address, and all recipients will see that is was carbon copied.
BCC - Blind carbon copy.
Similar in function to CC but all recipients will not see
an address placed in the BCC section.
Reply-to - The address you
want the message you are sending to be replied to if different
than the default.
Attachment - Attaches a
file to the message you are sending. Clicking the browse button
makes a file-manager type window to locate a file to attach.
Subject - The subject of
the message you are sending.
By clicking on To , CC
, or BCC you will open a small browser window that contains
the address in your address book. The large text box below
is where you type the body of the message. Hitting the send
button sends the message and cancel takes you back to the inbox.
Deleting Email: You need
to remember to log out after deleting email or the email will
not be removed!
