DreamHost Web Hosting Plans Include Webmail

Because so many businesses are mobile and you need to access your email from a number of different locations on any given day, DreamHost has made it possible for you to access your DreamHost mailboxes through a web interface. This is similar to using a free webmail program, like Yahoo, Hotmail, etc., in that you can access your email from any computer. All you have to do is go to http://webmail.yourdomain.com (put the name of your domain in place of "yourdomain" in the url), then enter your email address and password.

With this webmail system you will be able to see any new messages and messages saved on the server. If you have already downloaded a message to your computer but deleted it from the server you won't see it in the webmail program. With the web email program you can create and send new messages. You will be able to include attachments, use spell-checker, and use many other basic email features.

The webmail system is written in PHP and uses IMAP email instead of POP mail. What this means is that you email messages will be left on the DreamHost Server and won't mess up any other email client you may use. Because it is written in PHP there is a max attachment file size of 7 MB. There are many different options and features available with webmail from DreamHost. Visit the support wiki or discussion forum to see other options or to get answers to specific questions.
