What is the difference between webmail and an email client?
Webmail is just a link from our website using your Internet browser like Internet Explorer. The link is http://webmail.ideaone.net. An email client is a software program on your computer so that your email can be stored on your computer. Back to Questions > What is SMTP Authentication also called Outbound Mail authentication? SMTP authentication means that your mail program must provide login credentials every time you send an e-mail.

We enforce this feature to ensure that only legitimate users are using our server to send mail. This prevents our server from being used to send unwanted spam.
