Webmail lets you read, compose, and manage your email from any web browser without needing to install an email client. cPanel typically provides Roundcube as the default webmail application.
Please note: Screens and options may vary slightly depending on your cPanel version and hosting plan.

There are several ways to access webmail:
Direct URL:

Tips
- Webmail is ideal for checking email on shared or public computers — no settings are stored on the device.
- For day-to-day use, an email client (Outlook, Thunderbird) typically provides a better experience with offline access, calendar integration, and faster performance.
- Clear your browser's cache and cookies if you experience display issues with Roundcube.
