This tutorial is our how-to guide for using the popular features of WebWorkz Webmail. You can click any of the links below to jump to a specific section.
Webmail supports the following browsers:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 and higher
- Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and higher
- Chrome 1.0 and higher
- Safari 3.2 and higher
- Konqueror 3.5 and higher
Note: You may be able to view the Webmail interface on other, unsupported browsers; however, some features may produce unexpected results.
All e-mail accounts provide 5 GB of server side storage for archiving messages. You can send messages up to 25 MB in size.
The maximum size for email messages, including any attachments, is 35 MB; however, when attachments are sent over the Internet, they must be encoded, and this encoding increases the size of the message. The size increase can sometimes be more than 25 percent.
We recommend that you not try to send attachments that are larger than 25 MB. If you want to share large files, we recommend that you use the Files feature that is part of Webmail.
In addition, some mail servers will not accept large email messages, so if you attach a large file to your message, it may not reach its intended recipient.
1. Click Mail, and then click Compose.
2. In the To field, enter the email addresses to which you want to send the message (separate multiple addresses with a comma).
Alternatively, in the Contacts pane on the left side, select one or more addresses from your saved contacts list, and then click the To button at the bottom of the pane.
3. You can send a copy of the message to other addresses by entering the addresses in the Add Cc field as described above.
In the example below, the message is addressed to "info@rallyon.ca". The recipient "spencer@rallyon.ca" will receive a copy of the message and (along with any other recipient listed in the Cc field), will be able to see that the message was sent to "info@rallyon.ca".
You can also send a blind carbon copy of the message to other addresses by entering the addresses in the Add Bcc field as described above.
In the example below, the message is addressed to "info@rallyon.ca". The recipient "spencer@rallyon.ca" will receive a copy of the message and will be able to see that it was sent to "info@rallyon.ca". However, none of the recipients (in the To, Cc or Bcc fields) can see that a Bcc (blind carbon copy) was sent to "mdoucette@potpourri.com" and "peziza@hotmail.com".
4. In the Subject field, enter a subject for your email message.
5. In the large text area below, type the body of your message.
6. When you are finished writing your message, click Send to send your message.
1. While composing an email message in Webmail, click Attach a file. You can find this option in the toolbar and in the message area, and you can click either one.
2. From the pop-up window, select the file you want to attach to your message, and then click Open.
3. Click Upload.
The file is now attached to the message.
You can insert hyperlinks in your messages so that, when the recipient clicks on the link, the associated web page opens.
To insert a hyperlink in an email
1. In the body of your message, enter the text that you want to make into a hyperlink.
This can be the actual location or URL (such as http://www.example.com) or any text (such as click here).
2. Highlight the text by holding down the left mouse button as you drag the cursor over the text.
3. Click the Insert/Edit link icon.
The Insert/Edit Link window appears.
4. In the Link URL field, enter the link destination, for example, http://www.example.com.

This tutorial will show you how to automatically forward email from your Webmail address to another email address.
Note: Email that has been identified as spam by our system will be trapped by the Webmail Spam filter and will not be forwarded. The reason for this is that when a piece of spam email is forwarded by our server, the receiving server considers us to be the source of the spam even though we weren't the original sender. If too much spam email is forwarded by our system, it can result in our forwarding server being blacklisted. Blacklists temporarily prevent any email from being forwarded for all email addresses in our system. This is extremely disruptive to our customers. By filtering email for spam before forwarding, we are able to provide a more reliable email forwarding service.
If email from legitimate senders is going to your Spam folder, you can add their email addresses or domains to your Allowed Senders list. This will mark all email from those senders as safe and all new messages from those senders will be forwarded.
To forward email from your email account to another email address
1. Click Settings.
2. In the Settings pane, click Mail Forwarding.
3. In the Forwarding Recipients text box, enter the addresses to which you want to forward your messages.
Be sure to separate multiple addresses with a comma.
4. Click to put a check in the Enabled box.
5. Optionally, to leave a copy of forwarded messages in your Webmail account, click to put a check in the Keep local copy box.
6. Click Save.

This tutorial will show you how to obtain the full headers from your email messages in Webmail. Viewing headers is useful for troubleshooting issues such as email delays, spam, viruses, and abuse issues.
1. Display the message and then click Toggle Raw Message Headers.
A window appears that contains the Internet headers as well as the content of the email message. If the email was sent as HTML you will also see the HTML source of the message.
Webmail provides a tool that allows you to block or allow email from specific senders. You can add up to 1000 entries in the Blocked Senders list and 1000 entries in the Allowed Senders list.
Make sure that you enter the sender's email address or domain as it appears in the sender's "Return-Path." The return path is in the first line of the email headers. This may not be the same as the address that is displayed in the From field of the message.
Note: If you see the following error message when trying to add an address to your Blocked or Allowed list, you have reached the maximum address limit.
If this happens, you should consider revising your Allowed Senders and Blocked Senders lists to fit within the limit. Replacing multiple addresses that are in the same domain with a wildcard (*) is one way to trim down these lists.
If you want to add a domain to the Allowed or Blocked Senders list, the domain name must be preceded by *@ (for example, *@example.com).
Important: Be careful when adding entire domains to your list. If you add something like *@hotmail.com to your Blocked Senders list, you are blocking every single sender with a hotmail address.
Adding senders to the Allowed or Blocked lists
To add senders to the Allowed or Blocked Senders lists.
1. Click Settings.
2. In the Settings pane, click Spam Settings.
3. In the Allowed Senders or Blocked Senders text box, enter the email addresses that you want to allow or block, and then click Save.

File sharing allows you to share files outside of email. The largest file attachment you can send in your email is 25 MB. Using file sharing you can share or store a back-up copy of files larger than 25 MB. This tutorial provides an overview of the file storage feature.
Important: Files uploaded to Webmail count against your mail storage quota. If your email account has a 2 GB quota and you upload a 1 GB file, that leaves 1 GB of free storage quota for your email messages. In addition, there is a 2GB download limit for shared files in any 24 hour period - if you share a 500MB file and it is viewed four times, it cannot be viewed again for 24 hours.
To access your file storage, click Files in the Webmail header.
Uploading files
You can save up to 25000 files in the Files section, with up to 1000 files in any one folder.
Once a file is uploaded, you can share it with others by sending them a link to the file.
To upload a file
1. Click Files.
2. Optionally, select the folder where you want to store the file. If you don`t select a folder, the file will be stored at the top level, also known as the root.
3. Click the upload icon.
4. Browse to the file that you want to upload, select it, and then click Open.
The selected file is uploaded to the folder that you chose in step 2.
Note: Large files may take a few minutes to upload.
You can create customized folders to organize your files.
To create your own folders
1. In the Files section, click New, and then click Folder.
2. In the text box, type a name for the new folder and press the Enter key.
Your new folder is displayed in your Files list.
Sharing files
To share files
1. Mouse over the file that you want to share, and click Share.
2. Click to put a check in the Share link box.
The box expands to display a link for the file.
Highlight and copy this link.
You can now use the link to share the file over email, instant messenger, social networking, and so on.
If you want to email the link to a single address without having to copy it and then paste it into an email message, you can enter an email address in the Email link to person text file and click Send.
If you put a check in the Password protect box and enter a password in the corresponding field, anyone who tries to use the link will have to enter the password you specified before they can view the file.
You can also put a check in the Set expiration date and choose the date when the link will stop working. When you click anywhere in the field, a calendar appears that allows you to choose the expiry date.
Deleted email messages may be recovered by our customer service team if you contact us within 14 days of deleting the messages. Our engineering team saves back-up images of mailboxes to allow us to recover deleted email.
Note: We may be unable to recover your deleted messages if:
- The email was deleted within four hours of being received.
Email that has been stored on our mail server for less than four hours may not have been included in a back up image. - You download your email using a POP3 mail program.
If you use a POP3 mail program and it is configured to download messages automatically and then remove copies from our server, we will be unable to save back-up images of your messages. We recommend that you switch to IMAP if you want us to be able to recover deleted email.
Adding a custom spam tag
By default, when a message arrives in your mailbox that Webmail identifies as spam, that message has a flag added to it, to indicate that it's spam. The spam flag isn't visible to you, but if you add your own custom tag, then all incoming spam messages will have your custom spam tag added to their Subject line.
To customize your Webmail's spam tag
1. Click Settings.
2. In the Settings pane, click Spam Settings.
3. In the Subject Tag field, enter the custom spam tag that you want to use, and then click Save.
We recommend that you add a space or special character at the end of your tag so it does not run into the first word of the original subject line.
Any messages you download that are suspected of being spam will now have your custom spam tag in their Subject line and should be easy to identify.
Choosing a spam folder
By default, incoming spam messages are sent to your Spam folder. However, you can change the destination folder of incoming spam.
To change your destination spam folder.
1. Click Settings, and then click Spam Settings.
2. From the drop-down menu next to Spam Folder, select the folder where you want incoming spam messages to be delivered, and then click Save.
Choosing the spam block level
If you are receiving too much spam in your Inbox, or too many false positives in your Spam folder, adjusting the spam blocking level may help. The spam blocking level determines how likely it is that a message wil be marked as spam. A higher blocking level means messages are more likely to be marked as spam; however, you may also find that a lot of innocent messages are also classified as spam ( false positives).
1. Click Settings, and then click Spam Settings.
2. Choose the spam blocking level from the drop-down menu next to Threshold Level, and then click Save.
If you choose a level other than Normal, the spam filter will be more aggressive in classifying messages as spam.
If you choose Use Default, your mail will be filtered for spam using the level that is set for your domain.
If you choose High or Very high, more messages will be classified as spam; however, you may also find that a lot of innocent messages are also classified as spam. These messages are referred to as False Positives.
