This article describes how to access Plesk e-mail accounts using webmail.
Plesk is the control panel for Windows hosting. It is no longer included with new Linux plans, but it is still in use on legacy Managed WordPress accounts, and you can install it yourself on an unmanaged VPS or dedicated server.
Webmail enables you to check your e-mail accounts by using your web browser. You can compose and read e-mail messages, maintain an address book, and perform other common tasks. Third-party e-mail client applications, such as Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail and Mozilla Thunderbird, generally provide more features than webmail applications, but also require more initial configuration.
