It does not really make it clear, webmail is access to a website and usually will not be blocked. Contact first your hosting provider to confirm it is being blacklisted.<br />

Run tracery your_webmail_host <br />
Ere might be a routing issue from you to that location....

I have comcast as my ISP, I use a webhosting company for my website and company email. My comcast IP is blacklisted and I cannot get to webmail at the hosting company. <br />
<br />
How does my comcast IP address get blacklisted when my email server is at the webhosting company? What can I do to prevent this from happening?<br />

IP Blacklist

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

Email Servers

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions is sometimes also considered an email client, but more commonly referred to as webmail.
