Webmail allows you to read, write and organize emails in any web browser without needing a dedicated, downloaded email client. It can simplify your workflow by allowing you to access your emails from any device, even if it's shared. However, with 85% of Americans now regularly checking their emails with a smartphone, does accessing webmail still make sense? And is it even possible on a mobile device?

The simple answer to both is yes! Webmail, as well as webmail apps for smartphones, can make your email experience more secure when reading, writing, or reviewing emails on the go. We tend to be cautious when it comes to using email on our computer – we've got used to sorting the spam and rely on email clients to keep us protected. However, when using smartphones, we get a little more complacent, leaving us open to attack.

In fact, one study found that over 20% of mobile devices have encountered malware at some point, while 40% of mobiles worldwide are vulnerable. Like a computer, mobiles can be infected with malware that can steal information, spam your contacts, and more.

Using a robust webmail app or service can help limit your exposure and keep you more secure on mobile, but how do you use webmail to access your messages?

In a previous blog post, we explained how to connect your various accounts to webmail using some of the most popular email providers available. Here, we'll look at how you can connect those accounts to your mobile device to keep you productive and secure no matter where you are.
