 On a hosted space mail server space that uses the typical CPANEL to
create email accounts.

There is the ability to create a default 'catch-all' account which can
send all non-account addressed email to any email address OR simply
fail/bounce the emails.

Typically the default catch-all setting is left blank. ie. all
non-account addressed email received sits in the top level INBOX and
does not go into any named account folder hierarchy. This INBOX does
not have a username nor password yet of course can be accessed via
webmail interface.

Is there a way to access this 'no account set for it' INBOX?
So, in webmail there is:

INBOX   (no specific email account is set - all unrouted email arrives here)
account1
account2

'account1' and 'account2' have email accounts that have been created
with a username and password via cpanel yet the INBOX does not.
Ideally it would be possible to access this non-account INBOX without
altering the Default address field. The Default address being left
blank.
