How to Write and Send an Email in Horde Webmail

What is Horde?

Horde is a webmail program. Webmail means you use email in your web browser, with no extra software. You sign in on a web page and your inbox opens.

Steps to write and send a message

1. Open your webmail page and choose Horde if you are asked to pick a program.

   

2. Sign in with your full email address and password.
3. Click Mail in the top menu if your inbox is not already open.
4. Click New Message on the left side.

   

   

5. In the To box, type the address of the person you are writing to. To send to more people, put a comma between the addresses.
6. Click Cc or Bcc if you need them. Cc sends a copy that everyone can see. Bcc sends a copy that stays hidden from the others.
7. Type a short title in the Subject box. It tells the reader what the mail is about.
8. Click in the big box below and type your message.
9. Click Send.

A copy of the sent message usually goes to the Sent folder.

Steps to add an attachment

An attachment is a file that travels with your email, like a photo or a document.

1. While writing your message, find the attachment area under the message box.
2. Click Browse or Choose File.
3. Pick the file on your computer.
4. Click Open.
5. Wait until the file name appears in the list.
6. Click Send.

Very large files may be refused. If this happens, try a smaller file, or ask Hostvento support about the limit on your plan.

Save a message for later

1. While writing, click Save Draft.
2. Later, open the Drafts folder and click the message to carry on.
