Optonline Webmail and Email Sign in: All You Need To Know

Optimum Online which is also popular as Optonline is an internet service provider that has a wide range of service and packages for people looking for internet speed that can go as high as 400 Mbps. More than just the internet packages, it also offers other products including TV and phone services.

As a result of these, its email services, settings, and customer service support have come to be very important for customers who are looking to get the best out of the ISP.

Optonline Webmail and Email Sign In

Like other ISPs, Optimum Online comes with a webmail service that makes it easy for one to access the email through the web browser. The webmail is designed to be easy to use and to improve productivity.

When you are having your modem installed, a technician from the ISP will create a primary email address for you, after which you will go on and set up a new account through the Optimum ID Management Center. Apart from your main email, you are also allowed to set up more accounts based on what your account supports.

Here are the steps to create your email account:

• Go to the Optimum website and under the My Optimum ID box, click on “Don’t have an Optimum ID? Create one”. This will take you to the Create Optimum ID page.
• Put in your account number, last name, and phone number in the fields provided and then click on the “Continue” button (you will find your account number on your Optimum billing statement at the top right corner).
• The instructions you will see in the next page will vary based on the type of account you have. Follow the instructions and you will easily create your primary email.

Note: To set up your primary account, make sure that you make use of your home internet connection. More so, you will need to be at your server address.
