🛠️ Troubleshooting Common Webmail Issues

1. Unable to Login

  • Check Your Credentials: Ensure you’re using the correct email address and password.
  • Reset Your Password: If you’re unsure about your credentials, reset the password via the cPanel Email Accounts section.

2. Webmail Interface Not Loading

  • Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, outdated cache data can cause display issues. Clear your cache and reload the page.
  • Try a Different Browser: Test webmail on a different browser to ensure the issue isn’t browser-related.

3. Missing Emails

  • Check Spam Folder: If you’re not receiving certain emails, check your spam folder.
  • Quota Exceeded: Ensure your email account has not exceeded its storage limit. If it has, you can free up space by deleting old messages.
