That works in most cases - the exception seems to be when there’s a relay involved. I put the address in my.yahoo.com bookmarks but yahoo adds their own relay layer to every bookmark link to run it through a yahoo tracker first, and by the time it gets to squirtle, things are funky enough that it forces the cpanel login and auth-click anyways.

I’m probably just going to give up on yahoo’s system and either search for or write my own bookmarks model with an RSS export since yahoo’s RSS feed importer doesn’t add that tracking url wrapper.

Yep. Once I discovered the yourdomain.com / webmail login I jumped all over it because I used to go into cpanel to get to mail too. I couldn’t do without it now. My employer blocked mail ports from work, but they DON’T block draknet’s web mail. They block yahoo mail, but not here so it’s my ‘back door’ into getting my email.

I also agree, it needs to be much better publicized with our members.

Question - is there a way to get to drak’s web-based emails without going through cpanel? I’d like to just have near “one-click” to get to it, ’cause right now I have to go through the cpanel login, then find the email button, select the account, and then i’m into webmail (after authenticating with the actual email account’s separate name/password mentioned above).

I have a shortcut that goes straight to the webmail, but that still has both logins (cpanel, then the email account), AND cpanel has now added a “do you want to authorize this”, adding another step to click when i’m trying to reduce them.
