Webmail is a way to access your email directly in a web browser — no app installation required. It works on any computer, tablet, or phone with an internet connection. This guide shows you where to go and how to log in.

Quick summary

Open a web browser and go to the webmail address for your email platform. For Google Workspace, that's Gmail at mail.google.com. For Microsoft 365, it's Outlook on the web at outlook.office365.com. Sign in with your full business email address and password.

What you'll need

  • Your business email address (e.g., jane@yourbusiness.com)
  • Your email password
  • A web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge — any works)
  • An internet connection

Logging in to Google Workspace (Gmail)

Open a web browser and go to mail.google.com.

Enter your full business email address (e.g., jane@yourbusiness.com) and continue to the next screen.

Enter your password and continue.

Complete two-factor verification if you have it enabled — enter the code from your phone or authentication app.

You're in. Your inbox opens. It looks like regular Gmail, but it's your business account.

Make sure you're signing in to the right account

If you already use Gmail personally, you might be signed in as the wrong account. Look for your name or profile picture in the top-right corner. If it shows your personal account, click it and choose your business account, or open a private/incognito browser window.

Logging in to Microsoft 365 (Outlook on the web)

Open a web browser and go to microsoft365.com, then pick Outlook from the app launcher — that's the route Microsoft's own sign-in guide gives. You can also sign in straight to the inbox at outlook.office365.com.

Enter your full business email address and follow the prompts.

Enter your password. You may be redirected to your organization's login page — this is normal.

Complete multi-factor authentication if prompted (a code sent to your phone, or an authenticator app).

Your inbox opens. Outlook on the web works like the desktop app, but runs entirely in the browser.

Bookmarking your webmail

Save the webmail address as a bookmark in your browser so you can get back quickly.

Some Google Workspace accounts have a custom login URL. If your IT admin or Chykalophia has told you a specific address, use that one.

Tips for using webmail safely

  • Log out when using a shared computer. On a public or shared device, always sign out after your session rather than just closing the browser tab.
  • Don't save your password in a browser you share with others.
  • Check the web address starts with https:// — that's what tells you the connection is encrypted. Browsers have changed how they show this over the years, so read the address itself rather than looking for a particular icon.

Common questions

Is webmail different from the email app on my phone?

Webmail runs in a browser and doesn't require installation. An email app is installed on your device. Both connect to the same inbox — messages appear in both places. See Setting up email on your phone for the app setup.

My company has a custom login page. Is that normal?

Yes. Some organizations use their own sign-in page, or one run by a separate identity provider, before handing you over to Google or Microsoft. Google's own sign-in page is at accounts.google.com, and Microsoft's is usually at login.microsoftonline.com — but because a legitimate custom page can sit on almost any address, the address on its own doesn't prove much either way. If you got there from a link in an email, or anything about the page looks off, don't type your password. Check with us first.

Can I use webmail on my phone browser?

Yes — both Gmail and Outlook work in mobile browsers. However, the dedicated mobile apps usually provide a better experience. See Setting up email on your phone.

I'm seeing someone else's account when I log in. What's happening?

Your browser may have saved another person's session. Open a private/incognito window (Ctrl+Shift+N in Chrome, or Cmd+Shift+N on Mac) and log in fresh.
