How to Access Your Emails Using Webmail

Is it possible to access my emails when not at home or in the office?

Overview

Webmail is a great tool for when you are looking to check your email when you are not at home.

You can check your emails from any device with internet access using Webmail. Here are some guides on how to access your Webmail.


What is Webmail

Webmail is a web based application that you can use to check your email using any internet browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.).

While having your email set up on your devices is convenient, sometimes you need to access your emails on other devices. Webmail allows you to check your mail from any location or device, without having to set up the email on the device. This can come in handy when you are away from home, or if something happens to your mobile device.

How you access your Webmail depends on what email services you are using.

cPanel Webmail

If you have cPanel based emails, you can access your emails in a few different methods.

If your website or domain blank records point to the same server as your emails, you can use any of these examples.

example.com/webmail
example.com:2096
webmail.example.com

You may get an SSL error when using webmail.example.com, depending on the SSL status of your domain. Despite what the browser says, it is safe to continue. The other two examples use the server SSL and should have no issues.

If you are not using our servers for your website, or if for any other reason your blank records are not pointing to our server, you can use the server name or IP address in place of your domain name.

servername.com/webmail
servername.com:2096
192.168.42.69/webmail
192.168.42.69:2096

If you do not know the server name, you can contact our team and we can provide it to you.

Regardless of which method you use, you should now be at the webmail login page.

The webmail login screen which includes the email password reset link.
