How to access your mail via the web
First proceed to mail.yourdomainname.com or mail.yourdomainname.net or mail.yourdomainname.org.  Once there fill in your username(This is username@yourdomainname.com).  Next press "Login".




On your first use you will be required to select what time zone you are located in.  Once you have selected your time zone press "Finish".  NOTE: If you are a returning user you may skip this step.




Now you are logged into the SmarterMail Web Mail system.  SmarterMail has most of the same features of Outlook, but in order to customize your account settings click "Settings" on the upper navigation bar of the webpage.  After clicking on settings click on "Account Settings" on the left website navigation bar.  By default the "User" tab is shown.  On the user tab you may edit your password by typing in your current password then a new password.  Your "Display Name" is the name shown to other users.  "Reply-To-Email Address" is the e-mail address that the person you send your e-mail will be replying to (Leaving this blank defaults it to your e-mail address).  Once you have made your changes click the "Webmail" tab.




On this tab you are able to change various settings such as how often the web mail interface will refresh the page and check for new messages.  Two recommended changes are to set "Initial Page on Login" to "My Inbox" & "Auto Refresh Rate to "1".  Once you have made your changes click the "Compose" tab.




On this tab you are able to edit all options used when composing an e-mail.  Once you have made your changes click the "Forwarding" tab.




On this tab you are able to set if you want all e-mail sent to this e-mail address to automatically forward to another e-mail address.  Once you have made your changes click the "Plus Addressing" tab.




On this tab you are able to set the default action when a "Plus Addressed" e-mail is sent to you.  Once you have made your changes click the "Signature" tab.




On this tab you are able to edit your signature which is displayed at the end of all e-mails that you compose.  You have the option when composing an e-mail to remove your signature from that e-mail.  Once you have made your changes click "Save" above the "User" tab.




After you have pressed "Save" the message "Your settings have been saved." will appear.  After this you may continue to use the webmail by clicking back on "Email" on the top navigation bar then selecting a mail folder from the left navigation bar.




After you are done reading and creating e-mail it is recommend that you Logout by clicking "Logout" on the upper navigation bar.




You have just been logged out if you see the screen below.
