Accessing and using Horde webmail

To access and use the Horde webmail application, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to cPanel.
    If you do not know how to log in to your cPanel account, please see this article.
  2. In the EMAIL section of the cPanel home screen, click Email Accounts.
  3. Under Email Accounts, locate the e-mail account that you want to access and click the CHECK EMAIL button.
    Alternatively, you can use the URL http://www.example.com:2096, where example.com is your domain name, to access webmail. Then you do not have to log in to cPanel first, but can instead go straight to the webmail login page.
  4. If this is the first time you are accessing webmail for the account, select Horde, and then click Open. The Horde webmail interface appears:
