Webmail lets you read and send email using a web browser without configuring a desktop or mobile email client. In Plesk, webmail access is available for each mailbox and can be opened either from the control panel or directly through a web address.
This setup is commonly used on environments managed through Plesk hosting where mailboxes are administered at the domain level.
When Webmail Is Useful
Webmail is typically used when:
- You need quick access from a shared or temporary device
- A mail client is not configured yet
- You want to check mail without installing software
While desktop clients offer more advanced features, webmail is convenient for basic daily tasks.

Étape 2: Log in to the mailbox
Enter the full email address and password for the mailbox.
Once authenticated, the webmail interface opens.
Verifying Mail Access
After logging in, confirm that:
- Incoming messages are visible
- You can send a test message successfully
- Folders load correctly
If mail delivery issues appear, combining webmail access with filtering services such as Experts en spam can help improve inbox quality.
Practical Notes
- Always use the full email address as the username
- Log out when using shared devices
- Webmail availability depends on DNS and mail service status
Webmail access works reliably for mailboxes hosted on scalable platforms such as serveurs cloud where users may need flexible access from different locations.
