Before you can access Web Mail to send and receive your email, you need to set up email accounts in your Control Panel, using the Mail Manager, please see the Control Panel Manual for instructions on setting up email accounts.

Once you have your email account set up, go to http://www.domain.com/webmail (substitute domain.com with whatever your domain name is).

If I also use a mail program on my computer like Outlook will my mal stay on the server?
Your mail will only be accessible on the server if you do not download it to your computer using a mail program like Outlook. All mail you have received since last checking your mail using a mail program will be on the server until you download it. Therefore, if you want your email to always be accessible via the internet its best to always check your mail using WebMail.
