When doing anything, one must get started first in order to progress. This page will (in time) provide you with vital information on hooking yourself up to the World Wide Web and carving out your own space there. By force.

Get in

Type ssh <username>@pronounmail.com into your terminal and enter that thing!!!

It will ask you for your password. You should have gotten this somehow at some point

Here's some more information on the shell okay? Please don't cry

Change your password

  1. passwd
  2. Type your password of choice and it will not give you any visual feedback
  3. Hit enter and repeat steps 2 and 3
  4. Success

Connect your email client

To do this, you need to add a new email account, but set it up manually. Use the info on this page to do so. Use it wisely. Or unwisely, if you want.

At some point there will be a Webmail and it will be so freaking awesomesauce lois

Learn how to use the shell

Be like a snail. Don’t be like a slug.

The shell is the main way of interfacing with the pronounmail.com server. It's not that hard as long as you already know how the shell works.
