What is Webmail?
Webmail allows you to access your email from any computer with an Internet connection and a web browser. We have three Webmail programs installed on your account by default (Horde, SquirrelMail and Roundcube). If you have never used Webmail before, think of it as a mobile version of a typical 3rd party mail software (such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Mac Mail, etc.). Using Webmail, you can manage your e-mail and contacts entirely from your web browser.
How do I access Webmail?
There are two ways to access your Webmail. You can either login directly or access Webmail through your web hosting account's cPanel.
Logging into Webmail directly via /webmail
Webmail can be accessed by appending "/webmail" to the end of your domain name. If you are a reseller, all accounts that are created in WebHostManager (WHM) can access Webmail by appending "/webmail" to the end of the domain name.
