• Unlimited mobile devices and IMAP connections.
• Auto-sync across all devices.

And that’s just for starters!

Create & Manage Client Email Accounts From The Hub

With The Hub, you can easily set up and manage everything for multiple clients from once central location: their sites, hosting, domains, plugins…and email accounts!

Creating email accounts with Webmail is as easy as 1-2-3…

Click on Webmail in the Hub…

Click the “+ Create New Email” button to create an email account from a domain managed in The Hub or hosted elsewhere…

Just follow the prompts and your email account will be all set up and ready to go in no time.

Here you can also manage your webmail email forwarders…

And email aliases…

Connect to Popular 3rd-Party Apps

Webmail can easily connect to 3rd-party apps (e.g. Apple Mail, Gmail, MS Outlook, Zoho, and many others) via IMAP configuration. Even if your clients aren’t tech-savvy, they should have no problem using their favorite email apps.

However, Webmail does not require any third-party app to work, and our own integrated email client includes all of the essential mailbox features your clients need to effortlessly and conveniently manage their email.

Give Clients More Control

With Webmail, everything your clients need to access and manage their emails is included right out of the box, and you can create professional business emails for them no matter where their domain is hosted.

Webmail lets you set up email accounts on any domain you own or manage, whether it’s a root domain like mydomain.com or a subdomain such as store.mydomain.com.

It also doesn’t matter if the domain is directly associated with a site in your Hub or not.

Give Clients More Freedom

Unlike POP email, which doesn’t sync across devices, our IMAP Webmail lets your clients access their latest email activity no matter where they check it or which device they prefer to use…phones, laptops, tablets, even their smartwatch!

Additionally, Webmail includes a powerful user-friendly mailbox that clients can log into from anywhere, on any device, to read and send emails.

Webmail is Affordably-Priced

Each business email account (e.g. [emailprotected]), is considered an individual account and is available at an affordable price of just $1/month for Agency plan members and $2/month for WPMU DEV members on any other plan.

Each IMAP email account you create will be billed as a separate paid add-on, including 5GB of email storage.

Resell Webmail Under Your Own Brand

Webmail is already white labeled for reselling to your clients. Automated reseller for Webmail is coming next!

We’re currently working on bringing full auto-provisioning of emails to our Reseller platform. Until this feature is released, members can manually resell emails to clients and bill them using our tool.

Full Reseller integration with Webmail means you will soon have access to all of Reseller’s features under one roof.

This includes:

• White label hosting, domains, client billing, and more.
• Auto-connect emails to client domains for easy reselling (coming soon!)
• DNS management with quick and simple DNS verification for emails and domains.
• 24/7 Expert support
• Anytime priority email support for you and your clients.
