Are you unable to access MailEnable webmail via HTTP on Plesk server?

Webmail is a popular email service that utilizes a web browser to permit sending, viewing, editing, receiving as well as deleting emails. It works like other email clients like Outlook. Thunderbird, or Apple Mail.

Moreover, Webmail is perfect for mobile users as it offers access to emails anywhere, anytime even without access to a computer with internet connectivity. Let’s take a look at some of Webmail’s features:

• HTML editing and viewing
• Multilingual capabilities and spell checking
• Organizing contact and groups
• Scheduling appointments and invitations
• Organizing tasks
• Multiple file downloads
• Spam filtering
• Server hosted file storage
• Inline YouTube Player
• End-user statistics and reporting
