# How to use webmail in DirectAdmin (Roundcube)

Webmail lets you check and send email for any account on your domain directly from a web browser — no email client setup required. DirectAdmin uses **Roundcube **as its default webmail client.

## How to Access Webmail

There are two ways to log in:

**Option 1: Direct URL**

1. Go to 'https://yourdomain.com/webmail'
2. Enter your full email address and password.
3. Click **Login**.

**Option 2: One-Click Access from DirectAdmin**

1. [Log in to your DirectAdmin](https://simplywebservices.net/docs/how-to-log-into-the-directadmin-control-panel/) control panel by accessing https://yourdomain:2222
2. Go to **E-Mail Accounts** (under **E-mail Manager**).
3. Find the account you want to access and click **Webmail **in the Login column — this opens Roundcube without needing to re-enter your password.

Don't have an email account yet? See [how to create a POP email account](https://simplywebservices.net/docs/how-to-create-a-pop-email-account-in-directadmin/) first.

### Using Roundcube

Once logged in, Roundcube gives you a familiar inbox layout:

- **Compose **— write and send a new message (top left button).
- **Folders **— Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Trash, and any custom folders appear in the left sidebar.
- **Contacts** — save frequent senders/recipients for quick access.
- **Settings** (gear icon) — customize your display name, signature, vacation auto-reply, and filters directly from the browser.

### Webmail vs. an Email Client

Webmail is ideal when you need to check email from any device without installing anything, or when troubleshooting delivery issues (since it connects directly to your mailbox with no client-side settings to misconfigure). If you'd rather use a dedicated email app instead, see our setup guides for [Outlook](https://simplywebservices.net/docs/how-to-setup-email-in-outlook/), [Thunderbird](https://simplywebservices.net/docs/how-to-set-up-your-email-in-mozilla-thunderbird/), [Apple Mail (Mac)](https://simplywebservices.net/docs/how-to-configure-mail-on-a-mac-apple-mail/), [iPhone Mail](https://simplywebservices.net/docs/how-to-configure-iphone-mail/), and [Android email apps](https://simplywebservices.net/docs/how-to-configure-android-email/).
