Webmail applications are online platforms that allow users to access and manage their email accounts through a web browser. These applications provide a convenient way to compose, send, receive, and organize emails without the need for a separate email client software.
One popular webmail application is Roundcube, which is included in cPanel. With Roundcube, users can perform common email tasks such as composing and reading messages, managing contacts in an address book, and organizing emails into folders.
While webmail applications like Roundcube offer basic email functionality, they may not have all the advanced features found in offline email client applications like Thunderbird or Microsoft Outlook. However, webmail applications have the advantage of being accessible from any device with an internet connection, making them ideal for users who need to check their emails on the go.
It's important to note that webmail is an optional feature, and users can also choose to access their email accounts using client applications like Thunderbird or Outlook. In fact, many users prefer to use a combination of webmail and client applications, depending on their needs and preferences.
To access the cPanel webmail login, follow these steps:
- Log in to cPanel using your credentials.
- Open the Email Accounts tool.
- Locate the email account you want to access and click on "Check Email."
- If it's your first time accessing webmail for the account, click on "Roundcube."
- The Roundcube webmail interface will appear, allowing you to manage your emails.
Alternatively, you can directly access webmail using the URL http://www.example.com:2096, where "example.com" is your domain name. This bypasses the need to log in to cPanel first and takes you straight to the webmail login page.
