Webmail Programs

HostGator offers you a choice in webmail programs. You can pick whichever one you are most familiar with, or the one you learn to like over time.

Horde is a popular choice, but does require some configuration to make it behave the way users expect. (For instance, Horde does not use a trash can for your deleted emails.)

RoundCube is another popular choice. Again, just pick the program you like.

Don't forget, You can switch webmail programs as much as you like, and you will still see all your emails.

Here's how to change the email program in your cPanel email.

  1. Login to your cPanel email account. Take me there.
  2. Click on the drop-down arrow beside your email address, you will see the three email programs (Horde, Roundcube and, SquirrelMail)
