Setting up an Email Account

To add a new email account to your domain, click on “Email Accounts” to be taken to the following screen:

From start to finish, here’s how to get your new account set up:

  1. In the “Email” field, enter the address you’d like to be reached at – for example, “hello@” or “yourname@”
  2. Select the proper domain name from the dropdown field. If you haven’t added your domain name to cPanel yet, you’ll need to do that first.
  3. Create a password – and make sure it’s a secure one!
  4. Adjust the Mailbox Quota for the account. Remember: emails take up space on your server, so you may not want to give everyone unlimited access.
  5. Click “Create Account”

Once you’ve done all of the above, you’ll notice that the email you just created has been added to the list of email accounts below:

Here, you can manage every element of that account, including the password, quota and mail client.
