What is webmail and what is it for?
Webmail is a service that allows users to send and receive emails through a web browser from anywhere they have internet access. It serves as an alternative to traditional email clients that must be downloaded and installed on a device. With webmail, users simply log into their email account using the instructions provided below.
How do I access webmail in cPanel?
You can access your preferred webmail client by loading its URL directly. To get the URL, proceed as follows:
- Log into your webmail by going to "yourdomain.com/webmail". Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.
- You will be prompted for your username (your email address) and password.
- Once logged in, load the webmail client of your choice. You can choose from Horde, Squirrelmail, and Roundcube.
- After accessing it, you will see in your browser's address bar the URL that gives you direct access to that client.
Direct access to your webmail
The URLs will generally look similar to these:
- For Roundcube: https://yourdomain.com:2095/3rdparty/roundcube/index.php
- For Horde: https://yourdomain.com:2095/horde/login.php
- For Squirrelmail: https://yourdomain.com:2095/3rdparty/squirrelmail/src/login.php
Remember: You must replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.
Once you have the URL, to create quick and easy access to your preferred mail client, we suggest the following:
- Log into your control panel.
- Go to the "Subdomains" section.
- Create the subdomain of your choice. For example: mywebmail.yourdomain.com.
WARNING NOTE: When creating the subdomain, do not use "mail.yourdomain.com" as this subdomain already exists, and creating it again could cause problems.
- Once the subdomain is created, add a redirect pointing to the URL you obtained in the previous step.
With this, you will have your own direct access to your preferred webmail client.
