In addition to your POP E-Mail account you can access through your E-Mail program, Active Web Hosting provides each domain with web mail service so that you can conveniently check your E-Mail via a web browser no matter where you are. In addition, you can make changes to your E-Mail Account through web mail as well. You can access your web mail by pointing your browser to http://mail.yourdomain.com where yourdomain.com represents your actual domain name. Enter your full E-Mail address as the username (ie. YourName@YourDomain.com), and your password for that E-Mail account to log in.
