How to Log into Webmail Using cPanel: Step-by-Step Guide

What is Webmail?

Webmail allows you to access your email account directly through a web browser without needing an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird. It’s convenient for checking your email from any device with internet access.

Step 1: Log into Your cPanel Account

1. Open your browser and go to your cPanel login page (usually https://yourdomain.com:2083 or via your hosting provider’s dashboard).
2. Enter your cPanel username and password.
3. Click Log in.

Step 2: Locate the Email Section

Once logged into cPanel:

• Scroll down or search for the Email section.
• Click on Email Accounts to view all your domain’s email addresses.

Step 3: Access Webmail for Your Email Account

1. Find the email account you want to access.
2. Click the Check Email button next to the account.
3. Choose a webmail client: Roundcube, Horde, or SquirrelMail. (Roundcube is the most modern and user-friendly option.)
4. You will be redirected to the webmail inbox for that email account.

Alternative: Direct Webmail Login URL

You can access webmail directly without logging into cPanel first by navigating to:

• https://yourdomain.com/webmail
• or https://yourdomain.com:2096

Enter your full email address and password to log in.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Forgot your password? Reset it in cPanel under Email Accounts by selecting the account and clicking Manage.
• Webmail page not loading? Clear your browser cache or try another browser.
• Can’t log in? Verify your email address and password are correct and that the email account exists in cPanel.

Summary

Logging into webmail via cPanel is a straightforward way to access your domain-based email from anywhere. Whether through cPanel’s Email Accounts area or directly via your webmail URL, you can easily manage your emails on the go.
