Managing email is a daily task for both individuals and businesses. Having a simple and reliable email tool makes a big difference. Roundcube is one such web-based email client that helps users read, write, and organise emails through their browser. It is widely used by hosting providers across Canada and allows users to check their emails without needing any extra software.
Let’s explore what Roundcube webmail is, how to access it, and how to use its key features.
Roundcube Webmail
Roundcube is a free and open-source webmail application. It is used to manage email accounts using a browser instead of an installed email program. Since it runs on the server side, users can log in and manage their emails from any device with internet access.
It is commonly offered by web hosting companies, including CanSpace Solutions, as a default option for email access. It works with IMAP email servers, which means emails stay on the server and can be viewed from multiple devices. The interface is clean and user-friendly, making it suitable even for those who are new to webmail.
Accessing Roundcube Webmail
To access Roundcube, users must first have an email account hosted by a provider that supports it. Most Canadian hosting services offer Roundcube through their cPanel or a direct login URL.
You can usually access Roundcube in one of two ways:
Through cPanel
Log in to your hosting account and open cPanel. Look for the “Email” section and click on “Email Accounts.” From there, choose the email address you want to use and click on the “Check Email” button. This will lead you to the Roundcube interface.
Through Direct URL
Some providers also offer direct access through a webmail link. This is often something like yourdomain.com/webmail. After entering this URL in your browser, you will be asked to log in with your full email address and password. Once logged in, you can choose Roundcube as your preferred webmail application.
Using Roundcube Webmail
Once inside Roundcube, you will see a clear dashboard with several options on the left panel. The inbox appears in the centre, and the message preview shows below or on the right, depending on the settings.
Reading and Writing Emails
Clicking on any message in your inbox opens the email. To reply or forward, use the buttons at the top of the message view. To write a new email, click the “Compose” button. A new window opens where you can add the recipient’s email address, subject, and body text. You can also attach files before sending.
Organising Emails
Roundcube lets you create folders to manage your inbox. This helps keep work, personal, and promotional emails separate. To move an email to a different folder, just drag and drop it.
Searching for Messages
The search bar at the top allows you to find messages by keyword, sender, or subject. This makes it easy to locate old conversations without scrolling through long inbox lists.
Adjusting Settings
Roundcube offers several settings to customize your webmail experience. You can update your display name, change the layout of your inbox, and manage your email signatures.
To access these features, click on “Settings” in the top-right corner. You’ll find options to:
- Change your password (depending on the hosting setup)
- Set up a signature that appears in all outgoing emails
- Choose your preferred language and time zone
These small adjustments make using Roundcube more comfortable and personal.
Security Features
Roundcube uses HTTPS, which helps protect your login details and email content when accessed through a browser. It also supports secure IMAP and SMTP protocols. Some hosting providers may add extra protections like two-step login or spam filtering, depending on the setup.
It is important to log out after using the platform on public or shared devices. This helps keep your emails private and reduces the risk of unauthorized access.
