Web.de: Activate SMS notification

To ensure that you do not miss any important emails, you can have Web.de send you an SMS as soon as a message arrives. We show you how to activate the option here.

SMS from Web.de: You have mail

• Log in to your email account at Web.de.
• In the side menu, click on "Settings" at the bottom.
• If you tap on "Notifications" in the "Folders" section, you can set the SMS notification individually by activating "via SMS" and entering your mobile phone number.

Web.de - individual SMS notification

• You can specify whether you only want to receive a short text of the email (160 characters) or a larger extract of up to 760 characters.
• Optionally, you can only be notified once via SMS or for every incoming email.
• Since not all e-mails are important and often only advertising ends up in the mailbox, determine whether you want to receive a notification when an e-mail arrives from a specific address or for incoming mail in a specified folder.

If you ever forget your Web.de password, we will show you in another practical tip what you can do.
