Account Management:

All R-Networks email account management is performed through either the WebMail interface or via the Web://cp hosting control panel. Refer to the section titled WebMail for detailed instructions on changing your password, email aliases, forward, autoreply and delivery filters.

Note: If you have a web hosting account with R-Networks it is recommended that account management, including email, be performed through the Web://cp control panel. Refer to the appropriate document for instructions on accessing and using the Web://cp control panel.


Spam Protection:

At R-Networks we work hard to protect you from unsolicited email. We have taken a multilayer approach to dealing with junk email and think it is important you know how we handle you messages. R-Networks uses the SpamHaus SBL and XBL mail block lists. When an email is received for you our servers first check to see if it came from a source on one of these lists. If the email did originate from a source listed, the message is immediately dropped and never delivered to you, the intended recipient. In reality this has very little affect on you, except you receive significantly less SPAM. These lists contain only the most hardcore spammers in the world. If you are concerned that someone sending you email may be on one of these lists you are welcome to read more at http://www.spamhaus.org.


The majority of SPAM email you receive is placed into a Junk_Email folder in your account. This is so you can review if at your convenience and check it if you expected to receive a message and it has not arrived. This way you maintain control of your account simply. There are no address books to maintain, no white lists and black lists. You receive the email and can review it later if need be. Note that R-Networks has the ability to adjust your spam filter, determine what is placed in the Junk_Email folder, can add additional SPAM folders and can adjust what is classified as SPAM if necessary to suite your needs. For more information contact support@r-networks.net.


WebMail

R-Networks WebMail is an email client which you can access with a web browser from anywhere in the world to read and send messages. WebMail also provides email account management whereby you may change your password. WebMail is accessible with any internet browser at https://www.r-networks.net/webmail/. We recommend you log in to WebMail using the HTTPS protocol however as it provides encryption of any data (for example your username and password) transmitted between your computer and R-Networks servers. You can log in securely at:

https://www.r-networks.net/webmail/


Logging In:

To login enter your username and password as provided above. Once logged in you will be presented with a list of your folders in the left pane and your messages in the center right pane. The top of the right pane will always display a set of links which allow you to Compose a message, Manage your Address Book1, Manger your email Folders, modify your personal Options, Search for messages and obtain online Help.



Reading Email and Navigating you Inbox

When initially logging in messages from your Inbox are displayed in the most recent order. To read any message, simply click on its blue subject. The message will appear in the right pane. At the top of this window you will have the standard set of links followed by a set of links which can return you to the Message List, Delete the currently displayed message, move to the Next or Previous message and Forward or Reply to the Message. The bottom of the page will provide a dropdown box which allows you to move the message into a selected folder on the email server.


Any of the actions listed above can performed on a group of message from the Message List page. Simply check the left checkbox of each message you wish to affect and then click one of the Move, Forward, Delete, Read or Unread buttons to affect every selected message. If you have more messages than will fit on one page Next and Previous links will be displayed at the top and bottom of the message list along with numbered links to each page of messages which you have.
