Logging into and using Webmail

With MEWebmail, you can log in from anywhere in the world through a web browser such as internet explorer or firefox. Not only can you send and receive emails, control spam, set auto-responders and mailbox redirections, you also have access to a calendar, appointments and task lists. Using Webmail is easy, but here's some help in setting up.

To Log In

Go to webmail.yourdomain.com.au instead of www.yourdomain.com.au (where yourdomain.com.au is your actual domain name). So, if your domain name is, for example, www.hello.com.au, you would type into a browser address bar webmail.hello.com.au and then hit Enter. You will be taken to the webmail page on your domain, where you can login by entering your full email address (for example fred@hello.com.au) and your password.

Recommended First Steps

It is highly recommended once logged in to click on the Options button down the left hand side. You can set your major preferences, change your password, and so on. You should set your time zone to GMT+10 Brisbane. If you want to send html messages (highly recommended) you will need to change 'Compose my messages in following format:' from Text to HTML (Light).The recommended Character Set is UTF-8.

Spam Control

It is recommended to start off with fairly light spam control. Under Options -> Spam Rules, check the box 'Enable Mailbox Spam Filtering' and change High Risk Spam Messages to Delete Messages. If you are still receiving too much spam (for example, more than 40 spam messages per day), then you can change Moderate Risk Spam Messages to Move to junk mail folder. Please use spam control at your own risk, as legitimate messages may be marked as spam.
