You need to correctly configure MX records. Create a subdomain which does not get proxied, i.e. mail.example.com
Then setup
example.com MX 10 mail.example.com
Don't cloud flare your mx record.
I mean the subdomain you use to attach mx record.
Cpanel and cloudflare have some issues with webmail URLs, assuming you're accessing cpanel through cloudflare.
We end up seeing things like webmail.lv-shared01.cpanelplatform.com be used by it instead of the correct one.
I got a ticket with cpanel about it but they weren't interested in fixing it a while back due to how they handle things.

You can always set cloudflare to bypass the subdomains you want directly accessed. Which in your case is mail.yourdomain.com and/or smtp.yourdomain.com
In cpanel right?
Already untick.
Ok I try again
No, in CloudFlare
Ok. I try finding other method. Need badly to use cloudflare to speedup website.
Ok let me try.
Keep in mind that setting your MX records to NOT be proxied is basically exposing the backend ip of your server, thus nullifying the CF ddos protection.

@mrlongshen this is how it should look like
What does this have to do with cPanel’s webmail?
With webmail? Absolutely nothing. Why should it?
... because the OP is asking a question about using cPanel’s webmail and CloudFlare together?
Don't think so, I understood it as email not getting delivered to their server because they were proxying everything, including MX target.
@FHR Ah, thanks. Didn’t read the post completely.
I have integrated Cloudflare in to cPanel for my clients and it has worked perfectly providing DNS Zones are setup correctly.
Can provide some screenshot?
Thanks. Using this method.
