In addition to access to the shell, we provide our customers with a standard 400 MB of RAID-protected storage, some or all of which can be used for mail. This mailbox is accessable with either a standard IMAP or POP mail client, or even through our Webmail system. The Panix mail system offers control over forwarding, spam filtering, and much more. All of these features can be accessed either via the Unix shell hosts, or via the Webmail system. Users unfamiliar with the shell will be at ease using this graphical user interface.

This page has setup instructions for popular mail clients such as Outlook or Eudora.

If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, you can mail us directly at staff@panix.com to let us know. A Panix staff member will respond personally to your email.
