I'm managing a website with a professional email (like [email protected]) that I access via cPanel. When I click the 'check email' button, it takes me to Roundcube. I'm wondering if there's a way to switch my email access to Gmail instead. More importantly, how can I clear out all the spam and junk emails, which seem to be coming from random SEO bots? This is a beginner question, so I appreciate any help!

If you're looking for a more robust solution, consider using services like Google Workspace, Zoho Mail, or Outlook for Business. These are dedicated email hosting services that manage spam better than standard hosting solutions. Investing a bit each month can save you a lot of hassle with spam management, especially if your email is important for your business.
Roundcube is just the webmail client your host provides. To switch to Gmail, you can connect your email account there. Just go to Gmail's settings, find the 'Accounts and Import' section, and check mail from other accounts. Adding your email address will let you send and receive emails through Gmail's interface instead of Roundcube. As for spam, make sure your domain's email settings (like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC) are properly configured in cPanel. That often reduces spam significantly. You can also enable SpamAssassin or set up some filters to catch junk emails more efficiently.
What exactly is SpamAssassin? Is it a plugin? Also, I'm using WordPress for my site.
Just a heads up, Google removed the option to check mail from other accounts earlier this year.
You can tackle spam directly in cPanel itself. Look for options like SpamAssassin for spam filtering, and set up email filters to manage unwanted emails based on specific keywords or senders. If you'd prefer Gmail, you can also connect your account via IMAP or POP3 to read your emails there seamlessly.
Should I follow a YouTube tutorial for setting up DMARC? It looks complicated.
