Appearance
Email Clients and Webmail
Open the Control Panel through Management → Subscriptions → Open control panel for the intended Active service. See Using the Control Panel if you need help finding the account or domain.
Open a mailbox with one-click webmail
- Open Email Accounts and select the domain.
- Find the mailbox.
- Click the icon titled Open Webmail.
- The panel opens a one-click Roundcube session for that mailbox.
If the server cannot provide one-click login, use Email Clients to find the server's webmail URL and sign in with the full mailbox address and its password.
Use a webmail login link
- Open Email Clients.
- Choose the server-specific Webmail link if you need access before configuring the domain's MX records.
- Alternatively, use the
webmail.mxroute.comlink when the required MX records are configured. - Sign in with the full mailbox address and its mailbox password.
Do not assume the server-specific webmail, one-click Roundcube, and central webmail links all open the same application or share all features.
Set up a desktop or mobile email client
- Create the mailbox first and open Email Clients.
- Copy Server Hostname. Use it for both incoming and outgoing mail unless you have separately configured and verified a custom mail hostname.
- Add an IMAP account in your email application.
- Use the full mailbox address as the username and the mailbox password.
- Set incoming IMAP to port 993 with SSL/TLS.
- Set outgoing SMTP to port 465 with SSL/TLS, with authentication enabled using the mailbox credentials.
- Save the account and test both sending and receiving.
Other encrypted options displayed by the panel:
| Service | Port | Security |
|---|---|---|
| IMAP | 143 | STARTTLS |
| POP3 | 995 | SSL/TLS |
| POP3 | 110 | STARTTLS |
| SMTP | 587 | STARTTLS |
| SMTP | 2525 | STARTTLS |
Use IMAP for normal multi-device synchronization. Choose POP3 only when you intend its download behavior and understand the client's message-retention settings. A panel password or API key is not a substitute for the mailbox password.
For platform-specific help, see iOS Mail and Microsoft Outlook. Use Custom Hostnames before substituting your own IMAP/SMTP hostname. In-house webmail branding has its own setup.
