How to access admin mails in Wordpress on Ubuntu 18.04?

Posted on December 21, 2019

Hi setup a WordPress site and I entered “admin@example.com” as the admin email. I tried to figure out how to access “admin@example.com” mails by setting up a mailserver but failed. I read through a lot of tutorials in the DO Community but could not find one which helps me. I tried setting up postfix but when I opened postfix’s config file, there was entries already, I guess it was made by WordPress while I setup the droplet and I do not want to mess with it as I am afraid it will disrupt the email functionalities of WordPress.

Can anyone point me to the right direction and help me access the admin@example.com mails. Thank you.

Hi @nitinjain,

DigitalOcean has a great guide that can be found here on how to setup and configure Roundcube

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-your-own-webmail-client-with-roundcube-on-ubuntu-16-04

I know the guide is for ubuntu 16.04 however it can be applied for 18.04 as well and will help you reach your goal.
