How to Access cPanel Webmail
Posted on
Accessing your cPanel Webmail interface can be done through several methods. Below, we outline the different ways you can log in
1. Accessing Webmail Using Direct Links
You can directly access your Webmail by entering one of the following URLs into your browser:
https://yourdomain.com:2096
https://yourdomain.com/webmail
http://webmail.yourdomain.com
Important Notes:
- Replace
yourdomain.com
with your actual domain name associated with your hosting. - SSL Warnings: If you haven’t installed an SSL certificate, domain-based links may display warnings. In such cases, using a link like
https://serverXX.web-hosting.com:2096
should work without issues. - Webmail Interface Issues: If you access Webmail using
http://webmail.yourdomain.com
, you might encounter a ‘broken’ interface, especially when using the Horde webmail client. This is due to the link using port 80, while cPanel’s default configuration for webmail clients typically uses port 81. This mismatch could lead to connection errors or a corrupted display.
Once the Webmail login page appears, enter your email address and the corresponding password, then click the Log in button.
2. Accessing Webmail via Namecheap Account (For Shared Hosting Users)
If you’re using Shared hosting with Namecheap, you can also access your Webmail through your Namecheap account:
- Log in to your Namecheap Dashboard and go to the Domain List section.
- Ensure the view is set to All Products and not just Domains.
- Locate the required domain and click on the inverted v shape next to it. This will display your hosting plan.
- Click on the drop-down menu and select Manage.
- On the next page, scroll down to the Software section, where you’ll find the most used cPanel shortcuts.
- Click on the Email Accounts icon.
- A list of mailboxes you’ve created will be displayed. Find the one you need and click Check Email.
3. Accessing Webmail via cPanel Account
You can also log in to your Webmail interface directly from your cPanel account:
- Open your cPanel and navigate to the Email Accounts menu.
- On the next page, locate the mailbox you want to access and click the Check Email button.
This will take you to the Roundcube webmail interface.
