Using Webmail with DirectAdmin

Your webmail login URL is:

Configuring a Third-Party Email App

If you would like to set up your email account in a third-party email app, please use the settings below.

SSL Setup Recommended

Non-SSL Setup Not Recommended

These settings are less secure and should only be used if your email app cannot connect using SSL.

The Difference Between POP3 and IMAP

When adding your mailbox to an email app, you may be asked whether you want to use IMAP or POP3.

• IMAP is usually best if you access email on more than one device.
• With IMAP, changes made on one device are synced to other devices.
• With IMAP, you can delete emails directly from the server.
• POP3 downloads messages and stores them locally on your device.
• POP3 can be useful if you want local copies of your email.
• With POP3, server-side syncing is more limited compared with IMAP.
