Instead of using your outlook express or other mail client
program to retrieve your email, you may feel the need to be
able to login and check your email from anywhere in the world
that has access to the net, when you may not be at home or
at the office.
To access your webmail server, make sure that your website
is first resolving to your Sun Designs® hosting web account,
then open a browser and type http://66.232.22.11/horde/imp
Click on 'IMP - mail client'
Now, enter the mailbox name in the "Username field"
and the password you have created for this mailbox. So if
you had the email address set up as "me@my_domain.com"
then the username field would simply be "me@my_domain.com".
WebMail F.A.Q
What does the image of a face in the message index mean?
An image of a face in the left-hand column of an entry in
the mailbox index view means that that message was sent directly
to you, and not only Cc'd to you or sent via a mailing list.
In other words, your address appears in the To: header.
In mailbox view, IMP occasionally shows the recipient, instead
of the sender, of the message.
IMP's mailbox view shows the recipient in the From column
on messages for which you are the sender. (In other words,
since you sent it, you know who the sender is, so IMP tells
you who you sent it to.) This is particularly useful for the
sent-mail and drafts folders.
How do I get rid of deleted mail?
In two modes: marking mail as deleted, and moving deleted
messages to a Trash folder.
If you are using the Trash folder feature, it acts somewhat
differently. When you tell IMP to delete one or more messages
(by clicking Delete in the message view, or by selecting the
check box to the left of the message in the mailbox index
view and then clicking Delete), the mail is moved to a Trash
folder, giving you the opportunity to decide to undelete it
(remove it from the trash) later. If you are certain you will
not need the deleted message(s), click on Empty Trash folder
in the mailbox index view. In addition, you can have IMP schedule
to automatically empty your trash folder at various intervals
via the "Maintainence Operations" section of Options.
How do I send mail to more than one person?
To send mail to more than one person, separate their email
addresses in the To:, Cc:, or Bcc: header (or a combination
of all three) with commas (","). Do not use semicolons
(";") to separate lists of email addresses.
How do I store more than one email address in a Contacts
List entry?
Full support for multiple addresses is still being implemented.
But, in most cases you can store multiple addresses in a single
Address book entry simply by listing all the email addresses
in the Address book Email field separated by commas. Do not
use semicolons (";") to separate lists of email
addresses.
Note that the number of addresses that fit in a single entry
may be limited.
How do I attach a file to a message I've composed?
Due to the nature of Web-based mail, attaching a file to a
message you are about to send is slightly different than what
you may be accustomed to in conventional mail programs. Attaching
a file requires two steps. While composing the message:
Type the filename in the Attachment field, or press the Browse
button to use a dialog box to choose the file to attach.
Press the Attach button to attach the selected file. This
may take a moment as the file is copied from your computer
to the server on which you access IMP.
Please note that for large files and/or slower Internet connections,
the process of uploading and attaching your file to the email
may take a while. Please be patient and do not click on other
things while you are waiting.
How can I view a message's full headers?
To see the entire message header, click the Message Source
link in the Parts section of the message view. This will show
you the raw mail message in the mailbox, including full headers
and any attachments in encoded form.
How can I request a return receipt or delivery notification?
You can request a return receipt by clicking the "Request
a Return Receipt" checkbox in the message composition
screen.
Whether or not you will get a confirmation back depends on
many factors outside of IMP's control. For example, some mail
servers will remove return receipt requests from mail before
it reaches the recipient, and some mail clients will allow
the user to select if return receipts should be honored. Because
of these and other factors, you should not depend on return
receipts being honored by all recipients.
