Setting Up Your Email

Your messages are only a click away!

The email account provided with your website can easily be viewed using a web browser or email client such as Microsoft Outlook. Provided below are clear and easy instructions on how to view your email using both methods.

Viewing your email using a web browser.

Step 1.

Open any web browser such as Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc. that is connected to the internet.

Step 2.

Type the address of your website in the address bar with the following ending: "/webmail"

Example

http://www.yourwebsite.com/webmail

Step 3.

A pop-up box will appear requesting your login information. Use your email address as your USERNAME and the password provided by Deelicious Web Design for your PASSWORD.

Example

This login box will appear each time you check your email using a web browser. If you would like your computer to remember your password for future logins, then select the REMEMBER PASSWORD box. Your email account will display immediately without the login box appearing if your password is saved for future use.
