I thought webmail was active by default?

Hi,
I can't log on to my webmail using my standard log on details. I thought it was set up automatically when ordering my account...
I've made a new mailbox (thinking this would help), and it seems to have done nothing.
Any ideas?
*edit
Ooooh, I just managed to log into the mailbox I created (added @username.plus.com which wasn't required when I had plusnet broadband before). So is this my only mailbox? Or is there some default one I don't know about...
*edit2
Annnnd I can't send an email from my accessible mailbox Sad

Hi Spader,
Me again...
Exactly what error messages are you getting?
Your default logon to webmail is your accountname and the accountpassword.
If you have other email boxes their details are accountname+emailboxname and the password for emailboxname.
Remember to select the correct "domain" (PlusNet) when logging on.
You can check if you have email set up by logging one to the portal (using your accountname and the accountpassword) and looking at the "Email Settings" link on the left.
HTH.

I noticed a while ago that you can log on to webmail with mailboxname@accountname.plus.net and mailbox password.
