Reading webmail in CPanel

*This article assumes you are already logged into CPanel.*

You can access webmail without logging into your control panel. This is useful if you have employee's that need to access webmail as it only allows them access to their own mailbox and not the full cpanel. You will need to setup your required email accounts using cpanel before you try to use web mail otherwise there will not be any mail accounts for you to log into and you will not be able to login using web mail.

You can access your webmail by adding "/webmail/" to the end of your own domain name. This will prompt you for your email address login details and you will need to enter the full email address and email password, DO NOT use your Cpanel login details.

This next screen gives you email application choices to choose from, Horde, Squirrelmail and Roundcube. Choose which one you want and click on it. If it is the first time your using these applications you may be asked a few simple questions after this you will be taken to the webmail page.

Important Note about accessing webmail:

Ideally you should avoid using the Webmail icon from the main page of your Control Panel as this will take you to the default account which use's your cpanel login name and you will be unable to change this. For security reasons it is un-wise to use this account for email.
