Email is wonderful, unless you can't get to it. People who use email regularly want, and need, access to their email accounts wherevere their travel and time away from home takes them. Outlook Express and other Email programs are meant to work on a users home computer - they are not transportable from one computer to another, one network to another.

So what's a busy, traveling person, to do?

Cedar-Rapids.net offers a webmail service (service where you can check your email directly from the web instead of an email program like Outlook Express) where you can view your emails while away from your usual computer or on travel.

Your webmail can be reached through a web browser at http://mail.cedar-rapids.net. You login by using your full email address, and your password, just like your email program. New emails, and emails left on the server previously, will be available here. Here you can compose and read new mail, and also change your password and your display name. You can send and add attachments, most anything you can do normally from home. And then when you open your email at home again, your email program will download anything still sitting on the server, recorded there by the webmail program.

So don't worry about losing touch, unless you're in remote areas where computers, bandwidth and related modern tools are lacking. We make sure your use of modern tools travels with you, easily and effectively.

(Note: Most email programs delete messages from the server once they've been downloaded. Please don't be surprised that all messages are not there).
