email without going thru cpanel

[rodeored]

What is the best way to access an email account with a web browser without going thru cpanel ?

domain.com/webmail only seems to work for the default email account. I want to access other accounts in the same domain but I can't figure out how.

update:
I was using "username" for the user instead of "username@domain.com"

This works for the default account, but not for other accounts.
Using the complete email address, webmail works as expected

You could always do a manual install of SquirrelMail

I tend to setup a subdomain for most of my clients.
This way you cen setup redirection to the email script rather than the cPanel interface.

I have the subdomain webmail.domain.com setup to point at https://domain.com:2096/horde/index.php

I'm sure it will work for other email software pre-installed.

Hi - I'm trying to set up the above but it doesn't seem to be taking. The subdomain & redirection are set up but when I go to https://webmail.mydomain.net I get ' the 'connection to mydomain.net has terminated unexpectedly'

Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.

try without the https.
The redirect should do that part automatically

Thanks David. Have tried that but still no joy.

Are you behind a firewall that doesnt like secure URL's with different port numbers in them?
Try setting up an inseucre webmail using http:// and the port 2095 instead of 2096 to test it out.

Not sure that's the problem. For example, I can gain access to CPanel before propogation of a site using the port no.

Have also tried 2082 - seems to be the port when I open up the mail.

In the past the setting up of subdomains has been instantaneous - could this just be taking to to set up/click in?

I get the impression that this should be straightforward. It's probably, as usual, something obvious that I'm doing wrong.

i installed http://www.roundcube.net/ roundcube mail because i wanted something new with ajax. Its pretty cool.
