Use this chapter to learn how to enable Webmail for the
websites on your server to provide access to basic mail
operations via a web connection.
Webmail adds basic mail functions to your website. If your web service hosts more
than one website, Webmail can provide access to Mail service on all sites. Mail service
looks the same on all sites.
