The purpose of web based e-mail is to allow our clients to operate their e-mail from any location that has the capacity to surf the web. For most people, its use will be limited to periods of travel. If your business does much with e-mail, with the exception of periods of travel, you will want to keep operating your e-mail client. The web based mail client has limitations so that your web site will not get overloaded with unproductive messages that clog your capacity to profit from your web site. You can use both an e-mail client and web based mail together. For your convenience, your e-mail client downloads ONLY mail in the inbox. Webmail may NOT be available on FrontPage enabled sites .

Appropriate Uses:

Web based e-mail is a 'convenience' created for basic use. In general, it causes a heavy load on the server if used improperly. If you send and receive many attachments larger than 100K or like to save (indefinitely) emails that you send and receive, the web based email is not for you. An e-mail client will better server your needs. The web based e-mail client is limited to 5MB of total space use for all e-mails and attachments. Due to the increased server load of improper use, e-mails greater than 500Kb cannot be opened, viewed, or sent. Again, if this is the type of email you usually send and receive, an e-mail client will better server your needs. E-mails greater than 500Kb can only be sent to the trash in web mail. If you need to obtain attachments greater than this, leave them in the inbox and use your e-mail client to download it to your local computer. Once you move an e-mail out of the inbox you cannot read it through anything but web mail. If the attachment is too large, your only option them becomes placing it in your trash and having them resend it. Then you can use your e-mail client to receive the mail. The web based mail client is designed to be an augmentation to your business e-mailing efforts. Accordingly, it works in conjunction with an e-mail client if desired.

Use:

To access your web based e-mail client, just type in the URL of:
http://www.yourbiz.com/webmail/
where yourbiz.com is the name of your domain. Then enter your user id and password for the specific e-mail(s) you are wanting to check.

You can also enter the web based e-mail client through your domain control panel. If you do not have hosting service through OfficeOnWeb, or are a dial in only client, your would access through the URL of:
http:///www.officeonweb.net/webmail/
and then a user id and password as specified for the specific e-mail address(es) you are wanting to check. The terminating "/" is required.

Commands:

The web based e-mail client is a powerful tool that can be used in conjunction with your other business tools. It is very handy to use it in conjunction with your regular e-mail client. The ten major features when you come into your main entry page are:

1. Mail box control. This list which mail box you are looking at and allows you to change between them.
2. Number of messages in the mail box and total web mail storage used.
3. Tools
   • Compose a new message
   • Refresh listing of e-mails in box shown (required if you have not changed anything lately in your view
   • Address book (you can also add an address to the book very easily by clicking on the add to address book indicator
   • Folders allows you to add, delete, etc. file folders to store mail within web mail. You get three pre setup in your initial installation
   • Empty trash which allows you to remove e-mails if your web mail client is becoming over filled. (When you log off the client, your trash is emptied too.)
   • Logoff allows to to exit the client cleanly. We recommend using log off and avoiding just closing your browser
4. Page indicator and ability to move between box view pages
5. Box move indicator and Move command initiator to the box selected
6. The e-mails in the box
7. The name of the person sending the e-mail and the add to address book capacity
8. The subject
9. Size of the e-mail and attachments within it
10. Selection of e-mails to move (warning, if you plan to use the e-mail client in conjunction with webmail, you can only receive e-mails stored in your inbox and cannot move mail back to the inbox (without resending it to yourself)

E-mail Overflow

If you have a very large e-mail, an overflow message will appear. First, try a refresh to make sure as the e-mail files may have been too busy to accurately determine if an error actually occurred. If so, then use the e-mail unclogged. If the mail is valid, you may want to use an actual e-mail client in place of web mail or in conjunction with it (our personal favorite).
