Accessing the WebMail
InterfaceWebMail is a
browser-based interface that allows you to send
and retrieve email messages from our email
servers. The service is a bit like HotMail or
YahooMail and allows you to gain access to your
POP3 email accounts from any browser that is
connected to the Internet.
You login using your email address and a
password. This site can be accessed off most
pages of the www.netalberta.com web site or by
using the example below.
http://mail.YourDomainName.com
Substitute your own domain name in the above
example.
There are several ways to log on from the
WebMail entry page.
- If the Encrypted login checkbox
is checked, the authentication against the
server is done by a SHA1 algorithm. The SSL
Mode link will take the user to the same
page but via https instead of http. i.e. the
communication is encoded by SSL and the SSL
port from the Administrator Settings will be
used.
- A user can use Forgot your password
link to show a special dialog where they
can fill in their account and their password
will be sent to both specified account and
their alternative email address. (This
feature can be disabled in Administrator
Settings.)
- The last feature on the Login page is
Fast Login. If user fills in their
username and password in the dialog, they
are saved by his/her browser and next time
he/she clicks on this link he/she is logged
on automatically. It is valid until user
closes their browser.
