Mirapoint Webmail: Addressing E-mail Messages
Follow these simple guidelines to ensure that your message is delivered correctly:
1. In the address fields of your message, use a fully qualified e-mail address (myname@example.com).
2. Separate multiple addresses with commas. Your message will not be sent if you use semi-colons (;) to separate addresses.

The Quota Status Bar
Each Webmail Direct account is allocated a certain amount of disk space. You can see how close you are to reaching your limit with the Quota Status Bar at the top of your Inbox. Once it reaches maximum capacity, messages are returned to their senders. For this reason, it is good practice to clean out your folders on a regular basis, deleting messages that are outdated or have otherwise served their purpose.

When you delete messages, they are deleted from your message list and moved to the Trash folder. They remain there until you click [Empty] next to the Trash link, which permanently removes them from the system.

Click on Folders on the left side of the screen. From the Folders view, you can readily tell which folders need to be cleaned out. The Junk Mail folder also can accumulate messages. They are automatically deleted after 7 days, but you may need to clean them out sooner if your Quota is getting close to 100% full.

Adding Your Signature to a Composition
To create a signature to add to your compositions, click on Preferences on the left of the screen. Scroll to the bottom and click in the Signature box. Add the text you would like for your signature. Next to Include Signature: if you choose No, you can insert it later into certain messages. If you choose Yes, it will appear at the bottom of every message. After you make your decision, click OK at the bottom of the screen.

If you chose No, when you are composing an e-mail message, you can click the Insert Signature button at the bottom of the Compose box. This will add your signature to that particular message.

Adding/Deleting Attachments
When you receive messages with attachments, they appear in one of the following ways: displayed inside the message, or as a link or button directly below the body text. Selecting the attachment link or button opens a separate window, displaying the attachment contents.

To add a file as an attachment: Compose your message. In the Attachments area beneath the message, click Browse, go to the location of the file in the navigation window, select it, and click Open. The attachment name appears in the File text box, along with its full directory path. Click Add. When Webmail has finished attaching the file, the following displays at the bottom of the window: A Trash Can icon, the attachment file name, and an Open link. Click the link to view the attachment. Click the Trash can icon to delete it. Click Send to send the message.

Note: You can add more than one attachment to a message, but they must be added one at a time.

Save As Draft
If you are composing an e-mail and don't have time to finish it, click the button Save Draft at the top of your Compose window. When you are ready to work on it again, click on Folders on the left of your screen. Click on the Draft folder. Then click your unfinished message. Click Restore Draft to continue working. Click Send when ready.

Composing and Sending Messages
When you compose messages in Webmail, be sure to Tab to the next section after you type the Subject. If you Enter, it sends the message before you finish it.
