For clients who use Bluehost OR Hostgator for their web hosting, here are some simple steps for getting your emails online (webmail):

  1. Go to http://yourdomain.com/webmail
  2. Enter your email address and password
  3. choose “Squirrelmail” to view your emails – the 3 choices are pretty similar; Squirrelmail is the least visually horrible : )
  4. read/reply to emails in the usual way


NOTE: if you receive daily/weekly emails from “???@box???.bluehost.com” – these are your Wordpress backups, so don’t delete them unless they are older than 3 months!

If you use Microsoft Outlook, The Simple Web Company can provide you with the code to configure it to get these emails, but if you use different computers for all your email, Webmail is probably the simplest way to go to always have access to your emails, even though the emails you send look a bit unrefined!

Important: The Simple Web Company does not do any email client configuration; we can provide you with the information for you to configure your own email client (e.g. Outlook) yourself, but no further assistance is undertaken.
