How to setup email through cPanel

If you are the administrator and would like to access different email accounts through the cPanel, you may do the following:

Click on the Email Accounts icon (not the Webmail icon!)

Find the email account you wish to access in the list of email accounts.

To the right of the email account you want to access, click on More, and then click on Access Webmail.

An new page asking for your password will appear. Enter the correct password. (If you need to force your way in, you can reset the email password with the Change Password link on the previous page.)

Click on the web mail application that you would like to use.

You have now accessed your email through cPanel.

Important Note:

The Webmail icon in cPanel does NOT take you to the email accounts you created for yourself and your users. Instead it shows you the default email account for your hosting account where server messages are sometimes sent. Follow the directions above to use webmail for your email accounts.

Webmail settings and options

To access the webmail directly, type the following information into the browser.

If the domain name has propagated type:
http://www.yourdomainname.com/webmail
or
http://webmail.yourdomainname.com

Substitute your domain name where it says yourdomainname.com in the examples.

You can also access it by going through the default webmail port number of 2095 as in the following example.

If the domain has propagated type:
http://www.yourdomainname.com:2095

Once you go to the address above, you will be prompted for your user name and password. Be aware, it is not asking you for your cPanel user name and password. All email account user names look just like the email address.

Please note that the login name and password are case-sensitive, and must appear as they display in your control panel.

In the user name section, type your full e-mail address (example: you@yoursite.com). In the password section, provide the password which you provided when you created the email account. Then hit enter. You are now logged into webmail.

Once logged into webmail, you will have several options available for the individual user.

Change Password

Click this to update your password. Of course, you must be logged in first. If you cannot login, then you need a password reset.

Forwarding Options

Click this to forward copies of all incoming email to another email address. If you want to create email aliases or domain forwarding options, you must do that from within cPanel.

Auto Responders

Click this to create an automatic message which replies to all incoming email. It's a simple feature, but does know to not auto-reply multiple times to the same email address within a short period of time.

Configure Mail Client

Click this to see the typical settings that should be used when configuring a mail program like Outlook or Thunderbird.

BoxTrapper

Click this to set up this unique email Spam prevention measure. BoxTrapper will require all incoming email to verify it was sent by a real person, and not a robot. It does this by auto-replying with a verification task (usually it asks the sender to reply or click a link). If they complete the task, then that sender's email address is allowed to send you emails without interference. Otherwise, the emails are saved in BoxTrapper and never delivered to your inbox.

Email Delivery Route

Click this to input any email and see how the server will deliver it. Helpful if you need to know if an email resolves to your server or a different server.

Email Filtering

Click this to create email filters. The filters can detect important emails based on the sender's email address, subject of the email, content of the email, etc. The filters can then mark the email or deliver it to a special folder.
