Login issues - March 2023
Login doesn't work. Service has been better since paying for access, but now that it's a paid service, not being able to login is unacceptable.

Worst than being hacked - Webmail broke my trust
My webmail address of nearly 20 years has been closed without informing me. A lifetime of correspondence gone and now I have to pay a ransom to Webmail to get my data back. This is worst than getting hacked, I trusted Webmail when they promised me a free e-mail address and they have broken that trust.

webmail.co.za is a bad service
webmail.co.za is no longer a free service - they charge a hectic registration fee.
Furthermore, all old emails are gone, despite the promise that these would still be accessible. Technical support merely states that they are still busy with migrations and that all previous communications will be available soon/by tomorrow/by the end of the day. Of course, this never happens an weeks later all old emails are still gone.
Verdict:
highly unreliable and sh***y service. Avoid, avoid, avoid - pick any other email provider (there are plenty of free ones, even encrypted and without the need to have a cell phone number) or go back to using pigeons. Everything is better than webmail.co.za

Webmail issues
I am unable to get into my webmail account. Apparently it has changed to a paid subscription service. Which I was not aware about. How can I get my old webmail or even if I have to pay for the subscription. There is no support from Webmail at all

Webmail Support not able to sort out my problem
I can't login to my old webmail? I also need to speak to someone at Webmail Support urgently. Sending emails back and forth didn't resolve my problem. Can't find a contact number. They are not even prepared to assist via Team Viewer.
Any assistance will be appreciated.

As soon as I enter my credentials, a message pops up saying that the server is not available. At other times I am able to get into my mailbox but it says my mailbox is empty.

Webmail has been down since last week Thursday (15 Sept 2022).
There is a message now that says its up again, but I cannot open, read or respond to any emails. I get an error. So, it is not fixed
There are too many ads now. Its impossible to work on mobile and even on desktop- so many ads. I am seriously considering moving. I cannot be locked out of webmail for 5 days on the trot.

Good Day
For the incoming mail server you can use pop.webmail.co.za on port 995 with SSL or port 110 and no SSL.
Webmail does not offer an SMTP service and requires that users rely on their ISP for SMTP settings.
ISP SMTP Server list below
Telkom ADSL – smtp.dsl.telkomsa.net or mail.saix.net or smtp.saix.net
MWEB ADSL – smtp.mweb.co.za or smtp.mweb.net
Vodacom 3G – smtp.vodacom.co.za or smtp.vodamail.co.za
MTN 3G – mail.mtn.co.za or smtp.mtn.co.za
Cell C – mail.cmobile.co.za
iBurst – smtp.iburst.co.za
Internet Solutions (IS) – smtp.isdsl.net
Neotel – smtp.neomail.co.za or smtp.neotel.co.za
@lantic – smtp.lantic.net

I have seen webmail said that "due to the short time they had to migrate some emails could not be moved to the new server before the old server was discontinued." This resulted in the loss of info.
The popups is obviously to generate revenue as webmail is a free service I suppose. I do not see these popups, because I am opening my emails in Outlook.

Only way to access it so far
Use a email app/outlook/thunderbird...
How do I set up POP3 using www.Webmail.co.za?
The POP3 mail settings for setting up your mail client to download mail straight to your PC are:
Incoming mail server: mail.Webmail.co.za
(Please note if your mail domain is mailbox or starmail etc. the mail server name is mail.mailbox.co.za or mail.starmail.co.za)
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): Your ISP
(This is the name of the server with which you connect to the web eg Netactive, Mweb or iAfrica etc. If you do not know either the name or IP address, contact them and ask them to give you this info)
Your account name: username@webmail.co.za and password are the same as the ones that you use with Webmail to log into your account.

It is 2 April 2022 today. No access or reply or respond from Webmail. They do not even look at these comments. I suspect it is not a migration to a server, but have probably been hacked with all our passwords and info.

Webmail email system is being migrated to a new server so access has been disabled. The migration should finish today. This information was indicated on their webpage.

I have had my webmail address for over probably 30 years. Since 31 March 2022 I cannot login. (No Access) I do not know whether webmail.co.za has been hacked. the Red message on top stated from 31 March to 1 April. It is already 1 April and I still cannot login. Nowadays if I send an e-mail to a gmail account, it bounces back. Whenever one reports an issue, no-one ever replies.

Server down. Apparently "planned" migration over +2 days from 30th to 1st April. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE SERVICE!!!
