That is all done. Your new email account has now been created.

Using Webmail

If you do not want to install a third-party email app such as Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail, you can use webmail
to send and receive emails directly through your browser.

For accounts on the London server, the webmail login URL is:

https://server.webhostnameservers.com:2096

You can also access webmail directly from cPanel:

1. Log in to cPanel.
2. Go to Email.
3. Select Email Accounts.
4. Find the email account you want to access.
5. Click Check Email.

Once logged in, you can access your mailbox through the available webmail interface.

Configuring a Third-Party Email App

If you would like to set up your email with a third-party email client such as Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail,
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 mail app cannot connect using SSL.

The Difference Between POP3 and IMAP

When setting up your email app, you may be asked whether you want to use IMAP or POP3.

• IMAP is usually best if you access email on multiple devices.
• 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.
