Overview
E-mail can be accessed through webmail or from a desktop/mobile client such as Outlook, Thunderbird, K9 or Mail.
Login Credentials
Your login will always be in the form of user@domain for e-mail.
Example: If your domain is example.com and your username myadmin, then the e-mail login is myadmin@example.com and not myadmin.
Your password is the same password that is used to log into the control panel.
Warning: Repeated authentication (Failures 3 invalid logins in a 5 minute window )will result in an automatic 10 minute blacklist.
