💻 How to Access Your Email

Option 1: Webmail (No setup needed)

• Go to https://yourdomain.com/webmail

• Login using your full email address & password

• Choose RoundCube or Horde (we recommend RoundCube)

Option 2: Email client (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.)

• Use settings from cPanel → Connect Devices

• Incoming: IMAP or POP3

• Outgoing: SMTP

• Enable SSL for secure connection

Option 3: On your phone

• Add a new mail account (Android/iOS)

• Use the same IMAP/SMTP settings from cPanel

🧹 Managing Email Accounts

From the Email Accounts section in cPanel, you can:

• Check storage usage

• Change passwords

• Delete or suspend accounts

• Set up forwarders or autoresponders

• Create email filters for better organization

🚫 How to Avoid the Spam Folder (Deliverability Tips)

Sending emails is one thing — getting them delivered properly is another.

Here are essential tips to avoid the spam folder:

✅ 1. Use SPF, DKIM, and DMARC

• Go to Email Deliverability in cPanel

• Make sure all records are “Valid”

• If not, click “Repair” — PLiKhost will auto-fix it

✅ 2. Don’t send bulk mail from your hosting

• For newsletters, use services like Mailchimp or Brevo

• Shared hosting is not designed for mass emailing

✅ 3. Use a branded sender name and signature

• Avoid using generic addresses like [email protected]

• Personalize your emails to build trust

✅ 4. Don’t include suspicious links or attachments

• Use clean, well-formatted text

• Avoid URL shorteners and all-caps subjects

✅ 5. Monitor your domain’s reputation

• Check if your IP/domain is on any blacklist using tools like MXToolbox

• PLiKhost actively monitors and protects IP reputation, but staying informed helps

🔒 Bonus: Enable Spam Filters

• In cPanel, go to Spam Filters

• Enable Apache SpamAssassin

• Customize the score threshold (default is 5.0)

• Use the whitelist/blacklist to control trusted senders
