Webmail - send and receive email, anywhere
Webmail from WebFusion lets you access your email anywhere in the world. You can log in from any web browser to send and receive email.
Webmail is a real alternative to traditional desktop email clients, and comes as standard with all WebFusion shared hosting accounts.
It also includes a full calendar and address book - and you can access it on the move through many mobile phones and PDAs.
Interface
Webmail comes with a choice of three different interfaces. You can choose which you use depending on your needs and the capabilities of your web browser:
Advanced interface
Send and receive your email from a familiar environment. The advanced interface looks similar to many desktop email programs, like Outlook and Outlook Express.
It is designed to run in Internet Explorer and Firefox, and uses the latest technology to make sending and receiving emails easy.
Simple interface
Lightweight and straightforward, the simple interface is designed to work with almost any web browser.
All the essentials are there, and the clear design means you can find exactly what you need, fast.
Simple interface with AJAX
Simple and fast, this AJAX-enhanced version of the simple interface caches messages locally so you do not have to wait while they reload.
Easy to use, it's ideal if you just need the essential features.
Features

Using webmail is really similar to using an email program like Microsoft Outlook Express. You will find familiar functions where you expect to find them, so sending and receiving email is easy.
Filters and rules
Filter incoming email automatically. Send email from a particular person to a particular folder, or delete messages automatically when you know they are spam or you're not interested. You can also forward messages onto another address, automatically.
Get your email on the move
Webmail lets you access your email from many mobile devices, like mobile phones and PDAs. This means you can check your messages anywhere there's a signal - keeping you more in touch, more of the time.
Spell checker
Important email? Make sure everything is spelt right when you can still change it. Webmail has an in-built spell checker giving you the confidence that every word is right.
Attachments and formatting
You can send and receive email attachments easily with webmail. Just upload files from your computer to send. And with one of the most advanced HTML editors in webmail, it's easy to make emails look good.
Tabbed email browsing
View email messages inside a tabbed pane below the message list. This lets you jump between messages quickly, and open several at the same time.
Address book
Webmail includes a full, advanced address book so you can store all the details of people you contact regularly.
Store your contacts safely
Keep everyone's details in one place; with webmail's advanced address book you can store them safely and access them from anywhere online. It's easy to add a contact, and simple to search for the person you need.
Import and export
You can import and export contacts from and to virtually any other address book software. As long as it can handle .csv (comma separated value) files, it will work.
Search
The address book includes a powerful search function so you can easily find full details of the person you're looking for.
Calendar
The included calendar lets you keep track of all your important appointments - business and pleasure.
Manage appointments and tasks
The calendar lets you see, at-a-glance, when you are free and when you are busy. You can choose from daily, weekly or monthly views. Adding appointments is a matter of clicks, so it's easy to streamline your workday.
See when others are busy
With calendar, you can see when your colleagues are busy and send them invitations directly to their inbox. It's an efficient way of setting up meetings.
