Webmail is a software application that enables you to work with an e-mail account online via a browser and without the need for configuring the account in a desktop e-mail app such as Microsoft Outlook or perhaps Apple Mail. This will make it possible to make use of your email messages from any location and any personal computer if you aren't capable to use your own computer - in case you're on vacation and you go to an Internet cafe, for example. Webmail clients normally do not offer as much options as a regular PC client, but they still offer a range of options, for example sending and receiving emails, creating customized signature and using address books. If you create an e-mail address inside a PC app, you need to use the IMAP protocol during the process for those who like to see all messages later using webmail, because the online client cannot display e-mail messages from your PC if they were previously downloaded using the POP mail protocol.

Our Linux shared web hosting packages offer an advanced webmail application named Roundcube, which can provide you with pretty much all features of a standard email program. You can access it straight from a web browser by entering your e-mail and password or using your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel. Considering the characteristics that Roundcube contains, you can work with it as an addition to an email client or as a standalone app. If you host an enterprise Internet site and your workers use webmail, you can have the application within a customized URL with the company domain name in a few basic steps. With a couple of clicks it's also possible to create folders, customize the time zone in accordance to your location, make an address book or set up various identities for any given email.
