To access your email account from Plesk Webmail, follow these simple steps. Plesk provides a built-in webmail interface that allows you to manage and check your email directly from your web browser.
Step-by-Step Guide to Access Your Email Account from Plesk Webmail:
Step 1: Log in to Webmail
-
Open your browser and navigate to the webmail URL.
- The standard Plesk webmail URL is:
https://your-domain.com:2096
(Replaceyour-domain.comwith your actual domain name.)
If your domain is
example.com, the webmail URL will be:https://example.com:2096 - The standard Plesk webmail URL is:
-
Enter Your Email Credentials:
- Username: This will be your full email address (e.g.,
[email protected]). - Password: Enter the password that you set for the email account when you created it in Plesk.
If you have multiple email accounts or domains, ensure that you are using the correct email and password combination for the account you want to access.
- Username: This will be your full email address (e.g.,
Step 2: Choose Your Webmail Client (If Applicable)
Plesk may allow you to select between different webmail clients. The default options are typically:
- Horde: A popular webmail client with a full-featured interface.
- Roundcube: A simple, clean, and easy-to-use webmail client.
- After entering your login credentials, you may be prompted to select a webmail client. If you are unsure, choose Roundcube as it's the most commonly used client.
- Click on the selected webmail client to proceed.
Step 3: Use the Webmail Interface
Once logged in, you will be directed to the webmail interface of your chosen client. Here’s what you can do:
- Inbox: View incoming messages and manage your emails.
- Compose: Send new emails, attach files, and manage your contacts.
- Folders: Create and manage folders to organize your email.
- Settings: Configure settings such as email filters, forwarding, and auto-replies (depending on the webmail client).
Step 4: Log Out When Done
After you finish checking or sending emails, remember to log out of your webmail session for security. You can usually find the log out option in the top-right corner of the webmail interface.
Troubleshooting:
- Cannot Access Webmail: If you cannot access webmail at the standard URL (e.g.,
https://your-domain.com:2096), check your domain’s DNS settings and make sure the webmail subdomain (e.g.,webmail.example.com) is properly set up. If your webmail is hosted on a different port or URL, consult your hosting provider. - Incorrect Login Credentials: Double-check that you are using the correct email address and password. If you've forgotten your email password, you can reset it via the Plesk control panel.
- SSL Certificate: If you're getting a security warning when accessing webmail (e.g., SSL certificate error), ensure that you have an SSL certificate installed for your domain. You may need to enable SSL or install a certificate via Plesk if it's not already set up.
By following these steps, you can easily access your email account through Plesk Webmail and manage your messages.
