We believe we have implemented the best web based email application,

and we continue to offer Horde, and have added also Squirrelmail.

 

Therefore, and in a different strokes for different folks fashion, NetConcept4U.com email account holders have now 3 Web Mail Applications to choose from. Like with other web based email applications, the email server is accessed through a web browser using mostly the PHP scripting language and MySQL database back-ends, but that's where the similarity of our #1 application ends. 

 

To begin with, on log-in you'll notice that you don't have to enter your full email address. You type in only your Username (the part before the @) of your email address, then select the domain and enter your password. Of course, this is not a major brake-trough but a nice convenient feature.

 

Some Features:

 

  • No ads, and quick loading pages
  • Check your POP3, or IMAP4 email account from any PC, from anywhere in the world,
    but you can also set-up your other email accounts, so that you can get all your email from one place. (great feature)

For the unfamiliar:

Web mail does not download and store your emails to your PC, it simply accesses them directly from the mail server and sends it to your browser. This means that you can still use your own mail client on your PC as well. However you should delete unwanted email first, so when you use your PC based email client the junk does not get download into your PC in the first place.
