Webmail programs included in your hosting

Introduction

At miHosting you can access your email accounts from a browser using Webmail, without needing to configure Outlook, Thunderbird or a mobile mail app first.

This is especially useful when you want to check your email from another computer, confirm that an account is working correctly or access your professional mailbox quickly from anywhere.

Which Webmail programs may be available

The Webmail clients you may find in miHosting hosting services include:

1. Roundcube

   This is the most recommended option today. It has a simple, modern interface and covers the most common daily email tasks such as reading, sending, organising folders and managing contacts.

2. Horde

   This is a classic Webmail client that was widely available for many years in hosting environments. It may still appear on some older installations, although it is often absent from updated panels.

3. SquirrelMail

   This is a very lightweight and basic option. It was historically common, but on modern servers it often no longer appears because many control panels stopped including it by default.

Important: exact availability depends on the server, the control panel and the installed version. If you only see one option when logging in, that does not necessarily mean there is a problem with your mailbox.

How to access Webmail

1. Open your browser and visit:

   https://yourdomain.com/webmail

2. Enter your login details:

   • Username: your full email address, for example name@yourdomain.com
   • Password: the password for that mailbox

3. Once inside, choose the available Webmail client.

   In many cases, Roundcube will be the main option. If Horde or SquirrelMail also appear, you can choose the interface you prefer.

4. Check your inbox, send messages or manage folders directly from the browser.

Which one should you use

For most users we recommend Roundcube, because:

1. it is easier to use
2. it is commonly available on modern servers
3. it covers the main daily email features well
4. it is the most practical browser-based option for regular use

Roundcube is usually a good choice for:

1. reading and replying to email
2. creating folders
3. setting a signature
4. managing contacts
5. testing whether the mailbox works before configuring another device

Useful tips

1. Use IMAP if you also use other devices

   If you read the same mailbox on a phone, tablet or computer, IMAP is the recommended setup because it keeps the messages synced.

2. Do not confuse Webmail with the hosting panel

   Webmail is for reading and sending email. The hosting panel, such as cPanel or DirectAdmin, is for managing accounts, domains, databases, SSL and other hosting features.

3. If you do not see Horde or SquirrelMail, just use Roundcube

   On updated servers it is completely normal for older options to be missing.

4. Save the access URL

   Bookmark https://yourdomain.com/webmail if you want quicker access.

5. Log out on shared computers

   If you use Webmail on a public or shared machine, log out when you finish and avoid saving the password.

FAQ

Do I need to install anything to use Webmail

No. You only need a browser, your full email address and the mailbox password.

Can I use Webmail from any country

Yes. You can access it from anywhere with an internet connection, as long as your domain is working correctly and you know your login details.

Do my emails change if I use Roundcube instead of Horde

No. The emails remain stored on the server. What changes is only the interface you use to view and manage them.

Can I use Webmail together with a mail app

Yes. You can use Webmail while also configuring the same account in Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Gmail mobile or another compatible application.

Conclusion

Webmail is the fastest way to check your professional email from any browser. At miHosting you may find clients such as Roundcube, Horde or SquirrelMail, although availability varies by server and panel version.

For most users, Roundcube is the recommended option because it is simpler and better suited to current hosting environments.
