If you are logging into your webmail account using the mail.yourdomain.com address your browser will complain that the SSL certificate is untrusted. This is well and good, and normally you should heed the warning, however in this instance we are going to accept the certificate. We create CNAME records to alias mail.yourdomain.com to our webmail server which offers an SSL certificate to encrypt your traffic and protect your privacy while reading your email. Without going into a great deal of detail about why our self signed certificate for our shared email server makes your browser complain, we’re simply going to give you a quick tutorial on what to do to get to your email.
