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.
