Quick-start guide: home 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

If your service provider has enabled email for your site, you and the users you add can send and receive email over the Internet using the email services available through your site.

Options for Accessing Email

As Site Administrator, you have three options for sending and receiving email:

1. When you are logged in to the Site Administrator control panel, Open the SquirrelMail service using a link on the Configuration page. Then, log on to your SquirrelMail account using your Site Administrator user name and password.
2. Create a user account for yourself, then log in to the User Administrator control panel to access your email services.
3. Obtain an email program such as Microsoft Outlook or Eudora to access your email services. If you use one of these email programs, you need to configure the program to get your email from the mail server for your site.

Option 2 enables you to use the User Administrator control panel. You cannot log in to the User Administrator control panel using your Site Administrator user name and password.
