New AJAX Webmail

The new AJAX webmail service brings you the power of a desktop email client to your web browser, allowing to use your Web Wiz Mailboxes from any computer with an internet connection and a web browser.

The use of snapping panes, drag-and-drop, and other intuitive user controls give the Web Wiz Webmail service one of the most advanced Web interfaces available. The powerful interface with numerous tools can also have the Contacts and the Events Calendar synced with Outlook on your own PC giving you access to your Contacts and Calendar while being out of the office.

All email to our network is scanned for viruses and any email detected as containing a virus is removed before it ever reaches your inbox.
