Configuring e-mail accounts through webmail

The webmail interface (Roundcube) allows users to manage their e‑mail accounts directly in a browser. Beyond reading and sending messages, you can configure account settings, filters, and preferences without needing cPanel access.

What You Can Configure in Webmail

From the webmail landing page, you can manage:

• Autoresponders → Set automated replies (e.g., vacation notices).
• Account Password → Change your login password securely.
• Preferred Webmail Application → Choose Roundcube as your default.
• E‑mail Filters → Create rules to block, redirect, or organize mail.
• E‑mail Forwarders → Forward messages to another address.
• Calendars & Contacts → Configure CalDAV/CardDAV sync with local clients.
• Contact Information → Update details for notifications and password resets.
• Account Preferences → Adjust interface settings.
• Spam Filters → Manage spam detection and handling.

Steps to Configure an Account via Webmail

1. Log in to Webmail:

   • Through cPanel → Email Accounts → Check Email.

   • Or directly:

     https://example.com:2096

     (Replace example.com with your domain.)

2. On first login, the landing page appears:

   • Under Change your webmail client, select Roundcube.

3. From the landing page, you can:

   • Manage Your Inbox → Autoresponders, Filters, Forwarders.
   • Edit Your Settings → Password, Contact Info, Preferences.
   • Fight Spam → Adjust Spam Filters.
   • Open Your Inbox → Click Open to access Roundcube.

4. (Optional) To skip the landing page in future:

   • Check Open my inbox when I log in.

Note

• Changes made in webmail apply only to that account.
• Password changes affect all access methods (webmail, IMAP, SMTP).
• Autoresponders and filters are account‑specific, not domain‑wide.
