Hey folks! Here’s the scoop on setting-up VWHI Email on phones, tablets, and computers:

EASIER: Webmail– using a browser like Firefox, Chrome, Safari, MS Edge, Opera, etc.: (main drawback- you only get new-mail alerts if you’re logged-in with your browser open)

  1. Go to: https://vwhi.org/webmail (it will redirect to https://vwhi.org:2096);
  2. Login: email address is your full VWHI email address including “@vwhi.org” and password;
  3. Select Horde (if asked) for default. (If you know/like one of the others, go ahead- they’re just interfaces, and you can change at any time through the settings).

BETTER: Email Apps– allows you to get alerts when new messages arrive, use contacts, etc.

It is *HIGHLY* recommended that you *not* use any app you are already using for another email account (for phones/tablets, frequently people use the built-in app), unless you are comfortable juggling accounts, as it’s easy to get email accounts mixed up and send mail from wrong account.

  1. iOS (iPhone, iPad)– A few recommendations for email apps:
    1. BlueMail– https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/blue-mail-email-mailbox/id1063729305

    3. Outlook– https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.outlook
  3. Laptops / Desktops (Mac, Windows, Linux): If you’re already using the built-in Mail application for another email account, try:
