Using webmail
Log in to Mila webmail with your mailbox address and password -- mail, calendar, contacts, and files.
Logging in
Mila webmail lives at a separate address, webmail.mila.cx. It isn't single sign-on with the Mila panel -- it's its own login screen, and it takes the same two things any mail client does:
- Your full mailbox address (e.g.
you@yourdomain.com), not just the part before the@. - That mailbox's own password -- the one set from the panel when the mailbox was created, or from a reset link. If your organization's owner also has their own panel login, that's a separate password; webmail only ever asks for the mailbox's own credentials.
There's no prefilled or one-click link from the panel into webmail today -- from a mailbox's Usage Instructions page (or its Overview page), an Open Webmail button opens the login screen above in a new tab, ready for you to type those two things in.
What's available
Mila webmail is a modern, JMAP-native client (not the older IMAP-only style some providers still ship), talking directly to the same mail server your desktop and mobile clients use. Once you're in, four areas are available from the same account:
| Area | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Read, compose, search, and file mail into folders -- the same inbox your IMAP client sees, always in sync. | |
| Calendar | Create and manage events without a separate calendar app. |
| Contacts | Keep an address book alongside your mail. |
| Files | Store and share files from the same webmail session. |
Anything you do in one client shows up in the others -- webmail, IMAP, and ManageSieve-managed filters all read and write the same underlying mailbox, so there's no separate "webmail-only" copy of your mail to keep in sync.
When to use a desktop or mobile client instead
Webmail needs nothing installed and works from any browser, which makes it a good fit for a quick check on a shared or unfamiliar computer. For day-to-day use on your own devices, a dedicated client (see Set up Mila in Thunderbird, Set up Mila in Apple Mail (macOS), or Set up Mila on iOS and Android) still has its usual advantages -- offline access, native notifications, and OS-level integration. Both are just different windows onto the exact same mailbox; see Email client settings for the underlying IMAP/SMTP parameters webmail's JMAP connection sits alongside.
