From within Cpanel:
1. Login to Cpanel by going to http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel (replace www.yourdomain.com with your actual domain name). You will be be promted to authenticate with your username and password. Your login details to control panel should have been contained in the account welcome email or "new account information" you received when your web hosting account was created. Once you successfully login, then proceed to the next step. If you are unable to find the information, you can always rest your cPanel password from the Todhost client area.
2. Click on the "email" icon. This will display a list of all the emails you have setup on your account. In this window, you can also create new emails if you wish.
3. At the extreme right, you will find the "more" button. Click on it and click "access webmail". This takes you to where you choose the options with which you will access your emails.
