With every JVDS account, you get at least one POP3 mailbox which is hosted on your assigned server. You basic email address is in the form of username@hostname.jvds.com. We offer a number of ways to access your email which include:

» IMAP - Used to store email on the server
» WebMail - Read email over the web
» Shell Session - Read your email from your shell account

Webmail
Each JVDS.com server shell server has a webmail client installed at http://webmail.servername.65535.net.
At the time of writing these servers are:
»
http://webmail.linux1.65535.net - Linux shell server
» http://webmail.shell1.65535.net - FreeBSD shell server
» http://webmail.freeshell1.65535.net - Freeshell server
To access the server just use your normal password/username. The webmail client itself is a wrapper around the IMAP server
which is installed on each machine so you all the email you sent/recieve will be kept on the server.
Shell Access
To access e-mail via your shell you have to use an IMAP compatible client. This includes pine and mutt.
