Alright guys, I am really new to Drupal and i'm just getting things starting to work... I have a e-mail account through my web hosting called "web mail" it requires me to log into my control panel to access it but i would like to make a link in the menu on my website that is only visible to the Admin and when i click it, it takes me to my e-mail for my site... is this easy? and also how hard would it be to make it say if i have a new e-mail similar to how Hotmail has a link that says you have X amount of new e-mails....? would this be a custom module?

Incorrect. Please take the time to read the readme.txt and the project page which clearly defines that there is more to the module than what you've explained above. Ensure to set the module up properly and all external links (links with the little image) will open in a new browser window as they do on every site I deploy the module on.
The above quoted from the project page.
Oh man my bad! i did not see
Oh man my bad! i did not see that! I had read the "readme.txt" but aparently not well enough I had read this and thought it did'nt do what i wanted it to do...
The External Links module is a very simple approach to adding icons to links
to external websites or e-mail addresses. It is a purely JavaScript
implementation, so the icons are only shown to users that have JavaScript
enabled.
Aparently i need to get better at reading but in all fairness it was late lol thanks again and it works great!
