What is Web-based Email? 
Web-based email is email that you can access from anywhere with an
Internet connection. You can use your browser (Internet Explorer,
Netscape) to go to
www.quickhosts.com/cgi-bin/sqwebmail. Then you
just enter your username and password to open your personal mailbox.
The primary advantage
of web based mail lies in the fact that you can use ANY computer with a
browser
and Internet access to check your mail, freeing you to check your mail
virtually anywhere. On the other hand, e-mail programs that are configured on
your own computer limit your mail accessibility to that computer. The
popularity of Web mail has increased dramatically, accounting now for about 35%
of all e-mail boxes worldwide.
How do I sign-up for the Web-based
E-Mail?
Web-based email access is an included featurewith all of our
accounts.
Will you give or sell my e-mail address to
other companies?
No, personal information such as name and e-mail address are used
by quickmail for administrative purposes, and for contacting the user
regarding customer support, account upgrades, new feature announcements,
virus
alerts
,
and maintenance disruptions to the mail service. We do
not sell, rent or divulge personally identifiable information to any third
party.
Once I get the free E-Mail

Simply go to ( www.quickhosts.com/cgi-bin/sqwebmail) and use your user name and password to sign
in .
What is the (Restrict Access to your IP
Address) check box and do I need to use it?
The Restrict Access to your IP Address
is just an added security feature. If you want to restrict your login
session to a single IP address (default) then proceed to login. If
you know you are behind a firewall that may change your "real" IP then you
may need to uncheck this box. If you don't know what a
IP
address or
a firewall is then it is best to leave this box checked.

it?
