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.
