You can read your e-mail online using Horde, SquirrelMail or RoundCube if your web hosting account allows this. These popular web mail applications allow you to read your e-mail, save them, keep an address book, and perform all of the other basic e-mail functions that you are used to. The main difference between web mail and offline e-mail applications, such as Eudora or Microsoft Outlook Express, is that all of these functions are performed online, rather than on your own computer. However, offline applications generally provide more features.

Web mail is optional. You can still use your favorite offline e-mail applications, if you prefer. You can even use a combination of web mail applications and another tool - you can check your e-mail online, perhaps when you're at work, and download your e-mail to your computer when you get home.

To read your e-mail online:

1. Click on the Webmail link; or by clicking on Access Webmail from the Email Accounts link on the Homepage and then clicking on the Go to Webmail Login button which will reveal the web mail applications mentioned above, any of which will display your emails.
   Note: You can also save this link as a bookmark, so that you can access it without having to use CPanel.
2. Click on the web application that you would like to use.
3. You are now in the web mail window for your default e-mail address. Please refer to the following topic links if you need more information about the web mail application you are using.
