How to log into Webmail?

Webmail is a great feature offered by cPanel. You can access email from any PC connected to the Internet. There are two ways to log into webmail supplied with cPanel.

  1. Access webmail through cPanel (Administrator Access Only)
  2. Access webmail via direct link. (For Email Users) (directions below)

Access Webmail via Direct Link

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.

We do have video tutorials on how to login to webmail.

We also have several video tutorials that will assist you with understanding the differences and functionality of the three webmail clients we allow everyone to use.

Is there any way to create a CNAME alias for webmail, so it would be webmail.domain-name.com instead of www.domain-name.com/webmail?

HostGator
That shortcut already exists by default. Try it.

If it is not working, please contact HostGator via live chat, phone, or email.

I can forward my webmail from domain to my gmail ID. How can I answer the mail from my gmail ID as if I have answered it from my domain?

HostGator
That may not be possible since you are forwarding the message to another email account.

If you setup both email accounts in a mail program like Outlook, then you can probably reply to any email with either of the mail accounts.

if possible tu change the default port? my ISP blocked all my cpanel and webmail access

HostGator
Try using the proxy access. See the related article, "Proxy access for cPanel, WHM, and webmail. Needed to bypass firewalls."
