Webmail helps you access your emails on a web interface or any web browser at all, as long as you are connected to internet service and you have your login details. When you access your domain emails using a webmail interface, you will open your web browser and type in the address of your webmail login panel.
For example, if you are logging into your domain email account via webmail, you will type in https://emerald4.smartwebng into your web browser.

More so, if you can’t send out emails, try to find out if the recipient’s address is correct. Furthermore, if your inbox is full, you might be unable to receive more emails. You will have to delete or archive some old emails to allow new ones to come in.
Reached your daily message limits: It is important to know that Telkom Webmail has a daily limit. What this means is that there is a specific number of messages you can send per day.
