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.

Stap 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
Na het inloggen, 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 Spam -experts can help improve inbox quality.
Praktische opmerkingen
- 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 cloud-servers where users may need flexible access from different locations.
