Webmail for Remote Use Only

Temporary Email Access

Eastex provides Webmail for our customers to access their email while away from home. While other mail providers are primarily accessed using a browser (such as Gmail or Yahoo), Eastex Net email should be accessed primarily with a mail client like Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird.

When a mail client is configured to download messages and remove them from the server, you prevent complications due to a full mailbox (see below). Our customers have access to 1GB of email storage, which is plenty to allow short-term message storage.

A typical use-case for Webmail is while away on vacation or at work without your home computer.

Full Mailbox

When a mailbox is near its limit, a notification email is sent from Postmaster as a warning. Once a mailbox reaches 1GB, it is considered full and can no longer accept new messages. The email sender will receive a bounce message stating the recipient's mailbox is full, and you will not be notified.

After you remove messages from the mail server (either by deleting or downloading them to your computer), you will receive a notification that your mailbox is no longer at its limit or exceeding the quota.

Quarantined messages do not count towards your 1GB quota limit on the server.
