How to Access Webmail

Published 8 June 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

Webmail lets you read and send email from any browser without configuring a mail client. Your cPanel account includes three Webmail interfaces: Roundcube, SquirrelMail, and Horde. They offer the same core features in different styles.

Before you start: You need an active cPanel email account. If you have not created one yet, log in to cPanel, go to Email Accounts under the Email section, and add an address.

Accessing Webmail through cPanel

  1. Log in to the cPanel control panel.
  2. Under the Email section, click Email Accounts.
  3. Find the email address you want to open and click Access Webmail on the right-hand side.
  4. Choose your preferred interface: Roundcube, SquirrelMail, or Horde.

Accessing Webmail directly from your browser

You can also open Webmail without logging in to cPanel first:

  1. Open your browser and go to https://yourdomain.com/webmail (replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain).
  2. Enter your full email address (for example, you@yourdomain.com) and your email password.
  3. Select your preferred Webmail client from the options shown.

Tip: Roundcube is the most feature-complete option and is recommended for most users.

Once inside, you can configure an email signature for each identity or set up autoresponders and forwarders directly from Webmail or cPanel.

Troubleshooting

Cannot log in: Make sure you are using your full email address as the username (not just the local part before @). Your email password is separate from your cPanel password unless you set them to match.
