Accessing Email
After set-up, there are two places to access your emails.


1. If you selected the carbon copy option, emails sent to this address will also get directed to an existing account that you may have at your internet provider, yahoo, or hotmail (examples). You will periodically have to login to this email’s inbox at https://email.secureserver.net/login.php to empty the inbox contents if you use this option.


2. This is web-based Email. This means that you can read your emails wherever you have internet access. To do that, the login address is

https://email.secureserver.net/login.php?clearcookies=1

You will need the email address and Password that you set up when you activated the email address. (at the Control Center)

If the web based login is the primary usage of this address, it is to your benefit to populate your address book with the addresses of those you want to receive emails from and to whom you send emails. Spam Xploder is a strong defense against unidentified emails. Email addresses in your address book get admitted to your inbox.

 

100-Pack Email Forwarding

This can best be described as using this address as a gateway for 100 email addresses that do not have an inbox. They go through here and get directed to an address with an inbox. If you’ve never set these up, please call Tech support 480 624-2500 to get walked through your first one.
