Web client
The IBM SmartCloud® Notes® web client provides access to mail servers through a browser.
The web client is a hosted mail client; there is no client for
users to install. Users simply log on to http://www.ibmcloud.com/social using
their service login email address and password. The service authenticates
the client and then the client is redirected to the mail file in the
service. User can access the web client in either of these ways:
- On a computer -- after logging on, users click Mail.
- On a mobile device -- users point the browser on the device to the service, and then log on to the ultra-light mode.
Users need a subscription for either SmartCloud Notes or SmartCloud Notes Entry to
use the web client. Each subscription provides a full mail client
with mail, calendar, and contacts, as well as to do and notebook applications.
Each subscription provides access to the service through either full
or ultra-light mode.
