Accessing the WebMail Interface

WebMail 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.
