To add an email account in cPanel, please follow the steps below:
-
Log in to your cPanel account. If you are unsure how to access your cPanel, contact support here at Essex Web Hosts
-
Once you are logged in to cPanel, navigate to the "Email Accounts" section. This can typically be found under the "Email" category, but the exact location may vary depending on the cPanel theme.
-
In the "Email Accounts" section, click the "Create" button.
-
In the "Create an Email Account" form, enter the following information:
- Email: Enter the desired email address (e.g. example@yourdomain.com).
- Password: Enter a strong password for the email account.
- Mailbox Quota: Set the desired mailbox quota for the email account. This specifies the maximum amount of disk space that the email account can use.
-
Click the "Create Account" button to create the email account.
-
You should now see the newly created email account listed under the "Email Accounts" section in cPanel.
-
To access the email account, you can either use a webmail client provided in cPanel or configure the email account in a third-party email client (such as Outlook or Thunderbird) using the email server settings provided by your web hosting provider.
That's it! You have successfully added an email account in cPanel
