How webmail works

Coritan Webmail reads and sends mail in your browser, for mailboxes that Coritan hosts. It is at www.coritan.com/webmail. The addresses mail.coritan.com and webmail.coritan.com send you there too, to the same page the link named.

Webmail is for anyone with a mailbox here: your own coritan.gg address, a mailbox on a Mail Hosting service, or a mailbox someone shared with you. It changes the mailbox on the mail server itself, so mail you read, sort or send there shows the same way in your mail apps.

• In the dashboard, select Webmail in the top bar. The account menu behind your initials has Webmail too.
• In the dashboard's search palette (Ctrl K), select Open webmail.
• On coritan.com, select Webmail at the top of the page while you are signed in.
• On a Mail Hosting service, select Open webmail at the top of its panel. On its Mailboxes tab, Open webmail in a mailbox's menu opens webmail with that address filled in. Both open a new tab.

When you are signed in to Coritan, your mailboxes open straight away. Otherwise webmail shows its sign-in card.

Your Coritan account

While you are signed in on coritan.com, webmail opens every mailbox your account can open. It does not ask for a mailbox's password.

A mailbox's address and password

You sign in to one mailbox, with no Coritan account needed. One browser keeps up to five mailboxes signed in this way. Your own coritan.gg address with your Coritan password is the exception: it opens every mailbox your account can open.

Sign in to webmail covers each step, the codes webmail can ask for, and each way to sign out.

Your coritan.gg mailbox

A Coritan account can have one address on coritan.gg, such as alex@coritan.gg. You take it when you sign up, or claim it later in webmail. See Get a coritan.gg mailbox.

Mail Hosting mailboxes

Mailboxes on your own domain, such as alex@example.com. Sign in to one with its address and password, or add it to your account so that it opens wherever you sign in to Coritan.

Mailboxes shared with you

A mailbox that another Coritan account shares with you opens beside your own, once you accept the invitation.

The account menu, behind the initials at the top right, lists every mailbox this browser can open in one list, however each one got there. Open and share mailboxes in webmail explains the list.

A mailbox from an organization's storefront opens in that organization's own webmail. Webmail cannot open a mailbox at another provider, but it can import its mail.

Reading, writing and every mailbox setting work the same whichever way you signed in. A few things depend on how you got in:

• Sharing a mailbox, answering an invitation and adding a mailbox to your account need your Coritan account. Being signed in on coritan.com counts, and so does signing in to webmail with your coritan.gg address and your Coritan password.
• Claiming a coritan.gg address needs you signed in on coritan.com.
• The Sessions list, which shows the browsers signed in to a mailbox, is there for a mailbox you signed in to with its address and password.

What you can change inside a mailbox depends on your role in it: its owner, someone it is shared with to read and send, or someone who can only read it. Who sees each tab lists the settings each role reaches.

Get in:

• Get a coritan.gg mailbox
• Sign in to webmail
• Open and share mailboxes in webmail

Work with mail:

• Read and search mail in webmail
• Write and send email in webmail
• Keep an address book in webmail
• Webmail keyboard shortcuts

Set up the mailbox:

• Sort mail with labels and filters
• Forward your mail to another address
• Send an automatic reply while you are away
• Protect your webmail mailbox
• Set up mail apps and devices
• Import mail into webmail
• Change webmail settings

The top bar holds the search, the status of new mail, the keyboard shortcuts button, Settings, the apps button and the account menu. The folders, your labels, the storage the mailbox uses, Contacts and Settings are down the left, under Compose.

New mail and changes made elsewhere appear on their own. While the status reads Live, they appear the moment they happen. When it reads Every 30 s, the live connection is down and webmail checks for new mail every 30 seconds.

The apps button, a grid beside your initials, links to the dashboard, its main sections and coritan.com.

Webmail has no charge of its own. A Mail Hosting mailbox is part of its service's plan (How Mail Hosting and SMTP Relay are billed), and claiming your coritan.gg mailbox takes no order.
