How to Access your Emails through cPanel
There are many ways to read your emails. If you need admin access to all email accounts, which means you can access all email settings not found within your webmail application interface, you must go to your cPanel's Email Accounts section.
This article discusses the different methods of accessing the Email Accounts section of your cPanel.
Via the cPanel
- Log in to cPanel. There are two ways to access your cPanel.
- Option 1: Access your cPanel directly.
- Option 2: Access your cPanel via your Customer Portal.
- Log in to your Customer Portal.
- Click Hosting in the left-side menu.
- If you have a single hosting package in your account, scroll down to the Quick Links section.
If you have multiple hosting packages in your account, locate the hosting package you want to manage on the Hosting Packages page, then click its Manage button. - Under the Quick Links section, click the cPanel button.
