  9. You can also access cPanel webmail directly in the browser using one of the following links:
    • https://yourdomain.com:2096
    • https://yourdomain.com/webmail
    • http://webmail.yourdomain.com

    NOTE: If you use http://webmail.yourdomain.com to access your cPanel webmail, you may encounter a ‘broken’ interface when accessing Horde due to port mismatch.

That’s it!
