WebMail
Web-based E-mail account

You may use the Web-based e-mail ("WebMail") account that comes with your ISP account (at home). You must contact your ISP to see whether your ISP offers a Web-based e-mail account.

- Note: Some ISPs use webmail from Google GMail, Yahoo, etc. instead of using their own webmail service.

Other Web-based e-mail accounts:
- Gmail - by Google
- Microsoft - Outlook.com - Live.com
- Yahoo
E-Mail & Mailing Lists ...
- BCC - Please use BCC and NEVER USE TO or CC when sending messages to a list of recipients.
GMail - by Google
- Gmail - by Google
- It seems that Google pushed an update (2025) to Gmail which includes an automatic opt-in that allows Google to access your emails to train AI Models. If you want to turn it off, then you have to do the following:
  1. Open Gmail
  2. Go to your settings (the little cog in the upper right corner)
  3. Choose See All Settings.
  4. Under the General tab, look for Smart Features: Turn on smart features in Gmail, Chat, and Meet - When you turn this setting on, you agree to let Gmail, Chat, and Meet use your content and activity in these products to provide smart features and personalize your experience. Click the checkbox and turn it off.
  5. Go back into settings. Right underneath the Smart Features that you just turned off, click on Manage Workspace Smart Feature Settings. Turn off those 2 features.
    You can keep them on if you want but I would like you to make a conscious decision rather than being automatically opted in to something that you haven't agreed to.

Bug Warning!!

There seems to be some sort of bug with all of the WebMail servers.

In your Preferences/Options you selected "Leave messages on server", but the messages disappear as soon as they are retrieved by any mail program.
So... you have to use your WebMail account immediately after sending the message. If your e-mail client (e.g. Outlook) gets the message first, then your WebMail program can not get the message. Only the first program to pick up the mail will be successful.
Let me know if you find out how to fix this problem.
