">Using HORDE to access your emails
Connecting to your WebMail interface is realy easy. Simply point your web browser to http://www.yourdomain/webmail/, where ‘yourdomain’ is the name of your domain. Note that the trailing slash here is critical – without it you’ll receive an error page.
You should receive an initial login prompt. Enter your full email address as the user name and your email password given to you.
Depending on your web browser you may have to create an exception for the sites certificate to allow you to login to the welcome screen. Click on the Horde icon. At this stage you can also manage email forwarding & set up auto responders for your accounts.
Upon selecting that option you will see the login for Horde Mail giving you a choice of language. Simply click on the ‘Log in’ button to proceed.
At the welcome screen, you’ll notice a navigation bar along the left side. The little boxes with ‘+’ signs in them indicate that they can be expanded to show submenus. Click on ‘Inbox’ to display your inbound mail queue. The number to the right of ‘INBOX’ (if present) indicates how many new messages are waiting.
If you have multiple email accounts you will see the individual accounts have a separate folder. Simply expand that account and click on the Inbox to display that accounts emails.
To read a message simply click on the subject or ‘From’ id. If you delete notes, they will simply appear with a strike-through line. To permanently delete (and free up your server disk space) you must click on ‘Purge Deleted’.
Always be sure to log out of Horde when you are finished (note the command at the bottom of the lefthand navigation pane).
Example of reading a note:
To send a new email, click on the ‘Compose’ icon at the top of the screen. Here is an example of creating a new email
Note 1: Use this area to add attachments to your note. Click the ‘Browse’ button to select the files on your pc you wish to attach. Then click the ‘Attach’ button to upload the files. The ‘Message Composition’ window will open in a new browser window and you may not notice this area at the bottom of the note. It may be necessary to use the scroll bar on the right side to move the window down to the Attachments area.
Note 2: This button will show the status of attached files. It is only functional once you have attached a file per the instructions under Note 1.
