Managing email services is an essential aspect of web hosting. aaPanel, a popular control panel, makes it easy to set up and configure your own mail server. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of setting up an aaPanel Mail Server with RoundCube Webmail, ensuring efficient email management for your websites.
