Todhost offers you a choice in webmail programs. You can choose whichever program you are most familiar with, or the one you learn to like. You can switch webmail programs as much as you like, and you will still see all your emails.
Horde is a popular choice, but does require some configuration to make it behave the way users expect. (For instance, Horde does not use a trash can for your deleted emails.)
SquirrelMail is highly recommended by us because the user interface is easy and is much more like the email programs you familiar with and should like to use. This software behaves the way users expect. (For example, it sends deleted mail to a trash folder.) Also, Squirrel Mail has low amounts of graphics, which makes it a faster option in terms of page loads. We also find that SquirrelMail is more reliable. If your other webmail programs are not working, try SquirrelMail.
RoundCube is another popular choice. Again, just pick the program you like.
Remember that you can change webmail programs anytime, and you will still see the same emails.

How to modify display preferences in squirrel mail
SquirrelMail is an interface for using your mail function in cPanel.
This tutorial shows you how to modify display preferences in Squirrel mail. Follow these steps to achieve this.
Enter your username in the name field (if in doubt: <username>@<your.domain>).
Enter your password in the password field. Your password will show up as asterisks (*); this is a security feature to prevent other people from viewing your password when you type it in. The password must be exactly the same as configured in the IMAP Server (or your IPMAP mailer program)
Press the "Login" button.
If you're can't get in, double check your username and password, and then contact support if you still have problems.
Some SquirrelMail installations, but not all, allow a user to change their password through the web interface. If this is a feature you need, but don't have, contact our support team using the client area.
It is possible to create a link (or bookmark) to the login page that will make it use a default username. To do this add the text ?loginname=username to the end of the URL (which previously ended with login.php), here "username" should be substituted by your actual username.

How to set up emailing list in cPanel
Setting up an emailing list allows you to send an email to multiple recipients while keeping each recipient's email address private. There are many mailing list scripts on the internet, but we recommend phpList which can be installed using Todhost's auto-installer, QuickInstall.
Install phpList
To install phpList via QuickInstall, follow these steps:
Log into cPanel.
In the Software/Services section, click the QuickInstall icon.
In the left menu, under Mail Software, click phpList.
Click Continue.
Select the domain on which you'd like phpList installed.
Enter the admin email, installation name and admin username.
Click Install Now.
Once the installation is complete, you can access your admin area by going to:
http://yourdomain.com/admin/index.php
Be sure to replace yourdomain.com with the actual domain on which you installed phpList.
Note: Avoid sending to multiple addresses using the CC field. Everyone will be able to see each other's email address.
You can always send to extra addresses using BCC, but this can be a hassle when you often have new people to email.
For information on how to use phpList in accordance with Todhost's mail policy, please see the following article:
