Hi Jon,
You can easily check email using one of the available web mail clients.
What is web mail? Web mail is a web based mail client you can use on any browser to access all your email.
Email is typically checked using a desktop mail application such as Outlook Express.
cPanel includes both Horde and Squirrelmail as available web based mail clients.
Open any one the following links & login using your username & password [myname@wysifa.net & it's password]
http://wysifa.net/webmail
http://wysifa.net:2095/
http://somerset.eukhost.com/webmail
http://somerset.eukhost.com/2095/
http://91.186.0.7/webmail
http://91.186.0.7:2095/
Or use this as an alternative to login to webmail from cPanel itself:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Find the email account you want to use to check mail via the web mail client in the "Current Accounts" table.
2. Click on the icon in the "Access Webmail" column.
3. When the page loads, enter the password associated with the email address you chose in Step 1 above.
4. Click on the "Login" button.
5. A new window will open stating that you are logged in as the email account you chose in Step 4 above.
When the page loads, you will have the option to use either Horde or SquirrelMail as your web based email client.
