🕸️ By WebFacing™. Read, send, show, manage, list, create, add, remove or delete email accounts, old messages, forwarders and autoresponders.
One click read, send and manage all your emails without a login step. Update notification recipients. Backup and download your complete cPanel® account.
This plugin requires your site is hosted on a cPanel® equipped server.
It uses it’s UAPI through shell access by default, or via HTTP API. Using without shell_exec initially requires a temporary access token generated in the cPanel® native interface.

Now works without shell access! Will not work at all if shell_exec is disabled in php.ini
Works only for admins, or other users with a custom cpanel capability and email on site domain (so far)
Any admin (if multisite, only network admins), or user with the filtered capability, on a site, can fully access any account on the cPanel® server instance
No AYS warnings for delete actions
If several sites/admins share the same cPanel® account, without being part of a WP Multisite network, no bulletproof separation, because of the way the cPanel® UAPI CLI works, with or without this plugin
