Frequently Asked Questions

Why use XS2Mail instead of a normal mail client?

XS2Mail is not designed to be a replacement for you normal mail user agent. (No webmail application is, due to the technology of the HTTP protocol).
However, if you are working on another computer, it is often not handy to change the settings of the email account just to check if you have email. The same is true, if no email program is available in your hotel or other destination.
A different use for XS2Mail is when you want to see or delete a message without downloading it first.

Why use XS2Mail instead of other webmail applications?

First, we must make the difference between a real webmail application, where you get a new email account, and a application such as XS2Mail, which allows you to access another mailbox.
Although there are quite some other mailbox access application for the web, we believe no other is as feature rich and standard-compliant as XS2Mail, and we are continually improving our service.

Some HTML email aren't displayed properly!

Because an inline HTML part is displayed inside the XS2Mail Read Message window, not all information from that HTML file can be preserved. This is true for all content of the HEAD section, such as style information.
If you want to see the HTML part exactly as it should be, click the "Show part list" link, and selected the text/html part at the bottom of the page.
