Using Webmail in cPanel Control Panel

October 2009 • By admincPanel

cPanel provides built-in webmail access that allows users to check their email from any web browser without needing to configure an email client.

Accessing Webmail

You can access webmail directly via:

http://yourdomain.com/webmail

Or via the secure URL:

https://yourdomain.com:2096

Available Webmail Clients

cPanel typically provides three webmail clients:

  • Roundcube: A modern, browser-based IMAP client with a user-friendly interface.
  • Horde: A full-featured groupware suite with calendar, contacts, and tasks.
  • SquirrelMail: A lightweight, standards-based webmail client.

Setting Default Webmail Client

To set the default webmail client:

  1. Log into cPanel
  2. Navigate to the Email section
  3. Click on Webmail
  4. Set your preferred client as the default

Configuring Email Client

For configuring desktop email clients (Outlook, Thunderbird), use the following settings:

  • IMAP: port 993 (SSL) or 143
  • POP3: port 995 (SSL) or 110
  • SMTP: port 465 (SSL) or 587
