Log In To Email With SnappyMail

When you hear about webmail these days, one interface comes to mind.. RoundCube. It is the most commonly used webmail app because it is integrated with cPanel and Plesk control panel systems. While othe webmail apps have fallen to the wayside (Horde, Squirrelmail and others), the development team at RoundCube continue to put out a wonderful product that is fast, versatile, and secure.

So is RoundCube for everybody? Unfortunately no. Especially in it's latest iteration starting in 2024, RoundCube has gone to a vertical preview only model. This decision has been to the dismay of many desktop users who prefer to read their email subjects across the top of the screen and see content of emails across the bottom. RoundCube simply does not support this anymore.

That's why we are happy to provide an alternative called SnappyMail.

What is SnappyMail?
SnappyMail is our new webmail service, replacing Rainloop Webmail on the HostNed members' apps page. It offers a modern, intuitive interface with enhanced performance, security, and search capabilities, designed to provide a superior email experience.

What are the best features of SnappyMail?
  • Modern and Intuitive Interface: SnappyMail offers a sleek, user-friendly design that makes managing your emails a breeze.
  • High Performance: Enjoy faster loading times and a more responsive interface.
  • Advanced Security: Built with the latest security protocols to keep your emails safe.
  • Enhanced Search Capabilities: Quickly find the emails you need with improved search functionality.
  • Customisable Layout: SnappyMail is preconfigured for horizontal message preview, making it perfect for widescreen desktop users. This feature allows you to view your messages side-by-side with your inbox, improving efficiency and ease of use.
How can I access SnappyMail?
To use SnappyMail, you need to be a HostNed member. If you are a member and wish to access SnappyMail, please open a support ticket requesting your domain to be allowed, and our team will set up access for you free of charge.

How is SnappyMail configured for widescreen desktop users?
SnappyMail is preconfigured for horizontal message preview. This layout allows you to view your messages side-by-side with your inbox, making it more convenient for users with widescreen monitors.

Why was Rainloop Webmail replaced?
We replaced Rainloop Webmail with SnappyMail to provide our users with a better overall email experience and improved security. SnappyMail's advanced features, improved performance, and modern interface make it a superior choice for webmail.

Where can I find SnappyMail?
You can find SnappyMail on the HostNed members' apps page at https://apps.hostned.com/.

If you have any other questions about SnappyMail or need assistance, please feel free to contact our support team. We're here to help!

Happy emailing,
The HostNed Team


Note: Rainloop and Horde have been discontinued

Your hosting includes email with advanced SPAM filtering like Apache Spamassassin. This is controlled by you from your hosting Control Panel (Cpanel or Plesk).

An optimally configured IMAP mailbox enables a Spam email folder called "Spam" where detected SPAM messages are sent to. This keeps your Inbox clean and SPAM-Free :)

Our policy for SPAM folders is to automatically delete messages therein after 21 days. This allows you ample time to scan the Spam folder periodically for possible False Positives, or messages that should not be there.

SPAM is a problem for everyone at some point or another. To help you fight SPAM, HostNed offers a powerful tool that keeps up-to-date with the very latest pattern recognition software. While most providers offer SpamAssassin with default rules that catches only a limited amount of bad stuff, we allow you to assist yourself and the HostNed community by reporting SPAM messages that make their way through. The technical term is "Server-wide Baysian SpamAssassin Email Rules". It works much like anti-virus software does, but is designed for email systems.

Here is how to use it (HostNed Hosting Only):
  • First make sure that SpamAssassin is enabled in the Control Panel. See documentation here: Cpanel, Plesk. Just use the basic config. We recommend setting to send all identified SPAM to the folder named "spam".
  • Now we need to create two new mail folders in the top level (not inside other folders). One named "Report-spam" and another named "Report-notspam". (Case sensitive, no quotes)
  • To use it like a pro, report new SPAM by moving any noticeable SPAM that comes to your Inbox to the folder "Report-spam". The server will check that folder daily for fresh SPAM you added recently. As a courtesy, we do not remove these messages from that folder for a few days, but eventually it will clear itself. The server will use the messages you reported to "learn" what the new SPAM patterns looks like and will attempt to move any incoming messages that match it to your "spam" folder. In case any messages come through into the "spam" that are not really SPAM (false positives), move them into the "Report-notspam" folder you created. Same deal, allow the server a couple days to process the report.
This powerful tool can give you the edge in SPAM prevention that are typically reserved only for expensive providers or custom systems.


* Please be respectful of the other community members by REPORTING ONLY ACTUAL SPAM, unwanted messages from legitimate sources are not to be reported here as other users may indeed desire those in their inboxes.

This article is a modern guide for connecting your HostNed-hosted email accounts with your personal Gmail account. Whether you're looking to receive, send, or manage domain emails using Gmail, this guide outlines the best practices and options available.

✉️ Overview of Your HostNed Email Options

Every HostNed Web Hosting plan includes:
  • Custom @yourdomain.com email accounts
  • Access via Webmail (from any browser)
  • Support for standard protocols: IMAP, POP3, and SMTP
  • Compatibility with clients like Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, K-9 Mail, and others
  • Ability to create Forwarders to redirect mail to external addresses

🔄 Option 1: Set Up Email Forwarding to Gmail (Most Common)

✔️ Advantages:
  • Easiest and quickest method
  • No need to change DNS or MX records
  • Emails arrive directly in Gmail inbox
  • Works well for basic personal or low-volume business use
Disadvantages:
  • Gmail only fetches forwarded mail, not sent mail (unless configured further)
  • You may not be able to organise forwarded mail into specific Gmail labels automatically
  • Gmail's SMTP server must be set up separately for replying as your domain
✅ How To Set Up a Forwarder
In cPanel (Linux)
  • Log into your control panel at:
    https://yourdomain.com/cpanel
  • Go to Email → Forwarders
  • Click Add Forwarder
  • Enter your full email address (e.g. info@yourdomain.com) and your Gmail address
  • Click Add Forwarder to save
📖 cPanel Forwarders Documentation

In Plesk (Linux)
  • Log into your control panel at:
    https://yourdomain.com:8443
  • Go to Mail → Email Addresses
  • Click on the desired email account
  • Go to the Forwarding tab
  • Check Switch on mail forwarding and enter your Gmail address
  • Click OK to save
📖 Plesk Forwarding Documentation
Quote⚠️ Note: HostNed no longer offers Windows/IIS hosting. All Plesk servers are now Linux-based.

🔁 Option 2: Use Gmail to Fetch Your Mail via POP3 and Send Mail via SMTP

This allows Gmail to both receive and send email on behalf of your domain. It works by setting up Gmail to check your HostNed mailbox via POP3 and send via either Gmail's or your domain's SMTP.
✔️ Advantages:
  • Gmail becomes a full-featured interface for your domain email
  • Keeps a backup of your mail on Gmail
  • More reliable sending as your domain (if SMTP is set up)
Disadvantages:
  • Requires manual setup of credentials and server settings
  • POP3 may be slower than forwarding (depending on Gmail's polling intervals)
  • May be confusing for less technical users
📍 To set this up in Gmail:
  • Go to Gmail Settings → Accounts and Import
  • Under Check mail from other accounts, click Add a mail account
  • Enter your full HostNed email and use the server settings provided in your control panel
  • For sending, use Send Mail As → Add another email address

🛠 Option 3: Use Google Workspace (Business Email)

This advanced method involves changing your domain's MX records to point to Google's mail servers and using Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) to handle your mail.
✔️ Advantages:
  • Full Gmail features and Google admin tools for your domain email
  • Better deliverability and security
  • Shared calendars, drive, and more
Disadvantages:
  • Not free – requires a monthly Google Workspace subscription
  • More complex setup (you must change DNS settings, verify domain ownership, etc.)
  • Entire email handling moves away from HostNed servers

MethodReceive  Send as Domain  Setup Complexity  Cost 
Forwarding to Gmail✅ (with config)EasyFree
Gmail POP3/SMTP IntegrationMediumFree
Google Workspace (MX change)AdvancedPaid Monthly



⚠️ NOTICE: Avoid Using Both Forwarding and Mailbox Access Simultaneously

While it's technically possible to set up an email address to both forward to Gmail and remain active as a standalone mailbox, we do not recommend doing this unless you're fully aware of the implications.
Here's why:
  • Duplicate Emails: When you set up forwarding and keep the mailbox active, Gmail will show and manage the messages you receive, but copies of those same messages will still be stored on your HostNed mail server.
  • Quota Overruns: Since the messages remain on the server and are often not manually checked or cleared, your disk usage quota can silently fill up, eventually causing new messages to bounce or be rejected.
  • Inbox Management Confusion: Messages deleted or archived in Gmail do not remove or reflect changes in your hosting account inbox.
QuoteRecommended Practice:
 If you're forwarding email to Gmail, we suggest either:
  • Only use forwarding, and don't log in separately to Webmail or a mail client, or
  • Use Gmail's POP3 retrieval method to download the messages instead of forwarding, with Gmail configured to delete messages from the server after retrieval (via the "Leave a copy on the server" setting).
This will keep your mailboxes clean, prevent overages, and maintain a consistent email experience.

NOTICE: Microsoft Windows Hosting is now offered exclusively at DomainsNed. HostNed offers Linux-based hosting only.

What are the main differences between Windows Server 2003 and 2008?

  • IP Address: Because Windows Server 2008 will be on a separate server, migrating from Windows Server 2003 to 2008 will mean that your website's IP address will change.
  • Scripting Paths: Your website is made up of interconnected script and image files. They all reside on our servers and your scripts (like index.html) tell your browser which to load and where to find them. Migration from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 will physically move your files from one server to another and thus require you to change the paths your scripts use to look for your site files.
  • ODBC Drivers: ODBC Drivers allow a web application to make connections to a database. Because these drivers are of a later version in Windows Server 2008 a small change will need to be made when migrating your data.
  • CDONTS: CDONTS is a method used to allow a website to send email from a webpage. CDONTS has been replaced with CDOSYS in Windows Server 2008.
  • FrontPage: FrontPage Extensions allowed Microsoft FrontPage to communicate with web servers. As this is no longer supported by Microsoft, Frontpage Server Extensions will no longer be available for use on a Windows 2008 server, although Frontpage can still be used in FTP mode to edit and upload web pages.
  • Basic/Advanced Password Protection: Basic/Advanced Password Protection is a feature that was provided by us on old Windows Server 2003 hosting packages. This allowed customers to password protect directories in their website. Once you have migrated to Windows Server 2008, this feature will no longer work.
  • iHTML: iHTML is only supported by IIS6 and earlier.  As Windows 2008 uses IIS7, iHTML is no longer supported.
  • .EXE File Handling: .exe files are executable files. These might simply be files for your users to download or they could be CGI applications which you execute. Our Windows 2008 Server platform handles these files slightly differently to our Windows Server 2003 platform.

Scripting / How To Use ALT Tags In BBCode
April 09, 2015, 12:14:43 AM
One criticism of BBCode is that it does not support alt tags for images (yes, properly the alt attribute, I know).  The alt is notoriously kind for SEO purposes and also for impaired visitors.

Well, I was toying around in the forum and discovered a way to make it work.  A bit of a little hack really.

Here is the format:

[img alt=here-is-the-alt]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/ISO_639_Icon_alt.svg[/img]

And here it is parsed below...

here-is-the-alt

If you inspect the code of the page you will see the alt attribute is present.  Do not add quotes and use dashes or underscores (although you MIGHT be able to get away with spaces in some cases).  I can confirm this works on SMF BBcode, but have not tested elsewhere.

If you go to http://www.intodns.com/ and enter your domain name there you can see if any errors are returned.  Sites like intodns.com and mxtoolbox.com are designed to be reference guides only, they are not authoritative.  So even if errors show up here, if there are no problems with your domain services and functionality, there is no need to change anything.  However, we have noticed that users in some markets such as Australia .com.au domains are experiencing periodic problems while using the round-robin DNS (yin.ssl1.us and yang.ssl1.us).

It appears that the .au authority is implementing changes in standards recently that effectively drops support for our round-robin style dns/nameservers system.  For best results, we suggest changing the nameservers. 

Here is how:

(If your domain name is registered with us, simply open a ticket requesting nameserver change and we will take care of everything for you)

===  HOW TO CHANGE NAMESERVERS FROM ROUND ROBIN TO STATIC

1) Log in to your domain name registrar.  Navigate to the "Nameservers" management area.  Edit the nameservers:

Remove these
YIN.SSL1.US
YANG.SSL.US

Replace with these
NS1CP3.SSL1.US
NS2CP3.SSL1.US

Save the changes.

2) Open a support ticket listing the domains you require changed and we will make the appropriate corresponding changes to namesevers on the server DNS.

You will not experience any downtime or disruption of service because we are not changing server or IP address.

If you are looking for a way to lessen the amount of unwanted SPAM messages to your inbox, SpamAssassin can be a great help.

SpamAssassin is a powerful, automated mail filter that helps identify and flag unsolicited email (spam) before it hits your inbox. Both cPanel and Plesk offer built-in integration with SpamAssassin for easy setup.
This guide walks you through enabling SpamAssassin on your hosting account, depending on whether you're using cPanel or Plesk.

📌 For cPanel Users
  • Log in to your cPanel account.
    yourdomain.com/cpanel(or via the link in your myHostNed Portal)
  • Navigate to the "Spam Filters" section under the Email category.
  • Click "Process New Emails and Mark them as Spam" to enable Apache SpamAssassin™.
  • Optionally, you can:
    • Enable Auto-Delete to automatically remove spam emails above a certain score.
    • Adjust the Spam Threshold Score (default is 5; lower = more strict).
    • Add whitelisted or blacklisted email addresses.
  • Changes take effect immediately.
🔗 Official cPanel Spam Filters Documentation

🧭 For Plesk Users
  • Log in to your Plesk control panel.
    https://yourdomain.com:8443
  • Go to Mail > select the domain name > click Mail Settings.
  • Check the box labeled "Switch on spam filtering for this email address".
  • You can adjust the following options:
    • Spam filter sensitivity
    • What to do with spam messages (move to spam folder, delete, or mark in subject line)
    • Whitelist/Blacklist email addresses or domains
  • Save your changes.
🔗 Official Plesk Spam Filter Documentation

📝 Notes & Best Practices
  • Whitelist important contacts to prevent false positives.
  • Check your spam folder regularly—SpamAssassin isn't perfect, and some legitimate mail may get flagged.
  • Adjust the sensitivity settings if you notice too much or too little spam being filtered.
  • If you're managing multiple email accounts, configure filters per account for more control.

❓Need Help?
Open a support ticket if you'd like assistance configuring SpamAssassin or tuning it for your specific needs. We're happy to help!

🔐 For hosting with SpamAssassin pre-installed, check our Web Hosting Plans


NOTICE: As with any technology that uses pattern recognition (like antivirus software), there is always a small chance of false positives. This means that legitimate emails may be mistakenly marked as spam and placed in your Spam folder.

For this reason, we do not recommend enabling the "Auto-Delete" option in SpamAssassin. Instead, we advise users to regularly review the contents of their Spam folder before permanently deleting any messages.
Being cautious can help prevent important messages from being lost.
#54
If you want to preview your new domain before going live by setting the nameservers, there is a pretty easy way to do this.

You need to edit your "hosts" file on your computer.
On Windows systems (7 and 8) the hosts file is found at
    c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Be advised that you may need to allow viewing of hidden system files.
Edit that file in notepad (or Notepad++) AS ADMINISTRATOR.

Add the line as follows:
<server_ip_here>     <domainnamehere> www.<domainnamehere>
(Replace <server_ip_here> with the IP address of the web server, and replace <domainnamehere> with the new domain name you want to preview.

Once saved, restart the web browser and there you go!

Announcements / Beware Of Domain Transfer Scams
June 29, 2014, 03:27:55 PM

One of our clients today alerted us to a Scam email they received from a shady company named Domain Registry of America.  They are trying to trick domain owners into transferring domain names to them while pretending to be associated with reputable companies like HostNed and Godaddy.

BE ADVISED, DO NOT REPLY TO THIS COMPANY AND NEVER GIVE THEM ANY MONEY OR INFORMATION

Here is the contents of that email from "Domain Registry of America"
========================================

Hello, [client_name],

The transfer and renewal of your domain name, [domain_name].com has NOT been completed.  This may be because:

A) You did not receive or respond to the transfer authorization email sent to you by your current registrar, GODADDY.COM, LLC at [email_address].

B) Your domain name has passed the expiration date of [date]

C) You may have already renewed with your current registrar: [current_host]

Solution:
- We suggest that you renew with your current registrar for 1 year and then contact us toll free at 1-866-434-0212, so that we may discuss your options.
- Call your current registrar, [current_host] and renew with them to avoid losing your domain name, if you have not already renewed.
- Please note you are only required to renew for a 1 year term, you current registrar may urge you to renew for 2 or more years but you are not required to do so.



Transfer Department
Domain Registry of America
Toll free 1-866-434-0212 or for International Callers, dial +1(905)479-2533

Please have your Domain Registry of America order number (#12345678) ready when calling.

==============================================

I have also seen these scammers send snail mail to domain owners under the same subject.

Personally I use webmail (RoundCube is my fave [edit June 2018: I am really liking RainLoop and using that more these days] ) almost exclusively.  But if you are using an email program installed on your device or desktop computer, you will need to set up the connection ports.

Below are the connection ports to use on Cpanel hosted accounts, please note that Plesk or Windows may be different:

EMAIL PORTS:

INCOMING (IMAP)

    993 (for SSL/TLS) (*Recommended)
    143 (for PlainText/StartTLS)

INCOMING (POP3)

    995 (for SSL/TLS) (*Recommended)
    110 (for PlainText/StartTLS)

OUTGOING (SMTP)

    465 (for SSL/TLS) (*Recommended)
    25  (for PlainText/StartTLS)
    587 (for PlainText/StartTLS)


* Recommended options provide the best security and performance.
Note: When using SSL/TLS connection (recommended) be sure to choose "accept all certificates" option.  That process is different for depending on which mail program is being used.
If you continue to receive "Certificate" related errors, you may need to add SSL to your domain. We HIGHLY recommend this for a variety of reasons, including new SEO rules in Google search results. To add SSL (HTTPS) to your domain, contact us for pricing:

For those users still hanging on to Frontpage, the outlook is not looking good.  I really have pushed for this technology (Frontpage Server Extensions or FPSE for short) -- to keep it here at HostNed for as long as possible.  What a struggle it has been!  Microsoft stopped supporting it in 2004 and full-on dropped it in 2006, but since we were operating on Server 2003, we were able to keep it up and functioning for 7 years additional.  Now that we have been forced to upgrade to Server 2012 (by MS just like dropping of Win XP), FPSE just is not wanting to work compatibility-wise.  I know the techs have been trying diligently to fit the square peg into the round hole, but it is just not going to work for us.

I understand how frustrating it can be.  HostNed started with 100% Frontpage support back in 2000. Last year our Linux servers lost Frontpage support and many users were disappointed. Personally, I was a user of Frontpage until last year, so I am part of the club. It was a wonderful product for the end user, although from a back-end admin perspective it has been riddled with problems most of it's history. There are more points I could make about trusting Microsoft, but no need to get into that now.

So we are left here in our current situation.  As a solutions provider, HostNed wants to help you maintain the web the way you need it.  I will present to you three options for proceeding:


1) You can still use Frontpage (or Expression Web) to connect to your site using the FTP method (as opposed to the HTTP method).  Using this method still "works" but fancy functionality is lost -- shared borders, web forms (which I know you are currently reliant upon), and other things.  This is a good option for maintaining the current look site structure, but it can be tricky programming back in the shared borders and web forms using pure PHP as would be necessary.  Since you are not too entirely savvy with programming, you would need to hire us (or your favorite programmer) to assist you with that. For more information on connecting to your webspace using Frontpage FTP method, see here http://my.hostned.com/forum/frontpage/using-ftp-to-publish-with-frontpage/

2) You can use our Web Presence builder (Sitebuilder, click here for demo) that we offer.  This is a great option for less savvy users as it provides a very Frontpage-like web-based interface to build and maintain the website.  It is a professional level solution and costs a bit more for the licensing (currently $11/mo covers the entire package including hosting and domain name).  Mail forms are created with no technical knowledge necessary.  You may still want to hire us (or your favorite programmer) to transition a current website over to this platform, but from there maintaining it is pretty easy and required no special software -- everything is maintained on the back-end by us.

3) You can choose to use a popular CMS (content management system) like Wordpress.  Creating websites using Wordpress is the latest trend in webmastering.  It is not as simple a solution as option 2, but with a bit of learning it can be used to build powerful websites.  You may still want to hire us (or your favorite programmer) to transition a current website over to this platform as well.  Maintaining and making changes can be tricky, but for moderately savvy users it can work quite well.

For more info or specific questions, contact us.

Frontpage / Support For FrontPage on Cpanel
October 21, 2013, 05:04:01 PM
It has come to my attention that those of you still using FrontPage for web publishing using the FrontPage Server Extensions technology are having difficulty connecting and publishing the way you are used to (http method).  At this time, this applies to Cpanel only.  FPSE still works on Plesk servers.

I know this comes as an untimely inconvenience for many.  It is difficult to let FrontPage go (yes I am a user of FP as well!)

We are researching what can be done further to continue to support FPSE.  Microsoft abandoned FPSE in 2004, so for the last nine years, we have been tweaking our service to work FPSE into our offerrings.

As with any old server technology that goes to the wayside, eventually it can no longer be offered if for nothing else than the sake of security.

The techs are looking into the possibility of restoring FPSE and we will keep you posted here as to those efforts.
