TWIG is not accepting my password.
Your username and password with us is CASE-SENSITIVE, make sure you are
using the right capitalization when typing it in. (Your username should be
all lowercase.) Also when it asks for your USERNAME, make
sure you are just using the username and not your full email
address. (i.e. if your email address is johndoe@scc.net, you would just use
johndoe for the username.)
Also, if your password contains a backslash character ('\'), TWIG will not accept it.
I cannot check my email from the Sound Internet Webmail page
Sound Internet uses TWIG for web-based email access. WebMail requires the
use of cookies in your web-browser, you must have cookies ENABLED for
WebMail to work properly.
In Netscape 4.0 or above, you can find this setting by clicking on
Edit and choosing Preferences. Then under the category field click on

If you are using Internet Explorer, Click Tools, Internet Options,
Advanced Tab and locate the option for cookies.
I added an item (to schedule/bookmarks/etc.) and every time I hit the
reload button it gets added again. What's wrong?
As the doctor said, don't do that! When you add an item in webmail the
data is sent as a POST form, each time you hit reload on your browser it
reposts the data, re-adding the item. You should NEVER use the
back button in TWIG, always uses one of the supplied links to get back to
where you want to be.
I'm using the news feature and would like to be able to read the articles
in a threaded list. Is that possible?
No, due to the limitations of being in a stateless environment, webmail
does not support threaded news reading nor will it in the future.
When I try sending an attachment in my email message, the second attachment
always seems to replace the first file. How can I send more than one
file?
Send more than one email message. Currently, WebMail only supports one
file attachment at a time.
Sometimes I get a PHP error something or other when using the WebMail
program.
We are aware of this happening from time to time, and no fix is in sight
for this. The software is quite complex and many programs are interacting
with each other to support this service. Patches will be installed as they
become available. Please bear with us. If you wish to report a problem,
please send your questions and trouble reports via email to
staff@scc.net. Sound Internet will
not take telephone calls on this service at this time.
ABOUT
What is WebMail? Webmail is an installation of the software called TWIG, or
"The Web Internet Gateway". TWIG is rapidly becoming a very useful
intranet/groupware tool and application framework. It is written and
implemented completely with the PHP
programming language. Our intention is that it will become a simple,
cross-platform, fast, and browser-independant way to access or share
email when traveling or at work (when behind a firewall).
FEATURES
Because of the modular design of TWIG, it is fairly simple to add new
features when they are
introduced. Here are
the main features that TWIG currently supports:
