I-Mail is a web browser based Email Control Panel.
This easy-to-use control panel allows you to Administrate
the settings for your email accounts. It also allows you
to check and send your email through any Internet connected
web browser. This allows you to stay in touch with your
email when you are away from your primary PC by logging
into a page on our website. You may also use any email
program to check your email as well. For instruction on
using an email software package click
here.
Your account has a catch-all email account (webmaster@yourdomain.com).
This account also has full Administrative control of all
of your email accounts through the Control Panel. As webmaster
you can create and delete users (someone@yourdomain.com),
set users preferences, and send / receive the webmaster@yourdomain.com
email. Your other users can send and receive their email
through the browser interface but can only control their
own preferences. Please do not delete your webmaster@yourdomain.com
account as this is how we will inform you of important
service announcements.
