How to Access Webmail

What is Webmail?

There are several ways you can check your email. For example, you can setup a desktop email client such as Microsoft Outlook, Mac Mail or web-based clients such as Gmail to check your email. You can also check your email from your phone, such as an iPhone or an Android phone.

Like the previous examples, webmail is another tool you can use to send and receive email. Webmail is different because you can access it using a web browser. It doesn’t require you to setup the software. You can simply log into webmail and begin to use it.

Steps for logging into webmail
The steps below will show you how to login to webmail. In this example, we are assuming the email address you want to check is user@example.com

Steps for logging into webmail

Step 1. Visit example.com/webmail
Be sure to replace example.com with your actual domain name.

Step 2. Enter your username and password, and then click OK.
User Name: Enter your full email address, all lower case
Password: Enter your email address’ password

Step 3. You should now be logged in! Click on one of the three webmail clients and get started using your email!

After logging into webmail, you’ll be presented with three options: Horde, Roundcube, and SquirrelMail. These three options are different webmail clients that can be used for sending and reading email. All of them show you your email, however each of them has their own look & feel as well as their own unique features.

The 3 available Webmail Clients

SquirrelMail
Limited in features, however this allows you to quickly read and respond to email

Horde
Has more functionality than SquirrelMail, however this can at times make the software slower and more “busy”

Roundcube
Is the new kid on block, just recently introduced into cPanel. Feature wise it falls in between SquirrelMail and Horde, however it has a very clean look and feel to it, similar to a desktop client such as Mac Mail our Outlook
