How to create a email address in cpanel? Print

Creating a domain email (an email address using your domain name, like yourname@yourdomain.com) in cPanel is a common and useful feature. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Log in to cPanel: (for Username & Password: Check "New Account Information" email received when you signup for Hosting account)

• Open your web browser and go to your cPanel login URL (e.g., yourdomain.com/cpanel or cpanel.yourdomain.com).
• Enter your cPanel username and password, and click "Log In."
   

2. Navigate to the "Email Accounts" Section:

• Once inside the cPanel dashboard, locate the "Email" section.
• Click on the "Email Accounts" icon.

3. Create a New Email Account:

• Click the "Create" button.

4. Fill in the Email Account Details:

• Email:
  • Enter the desired username for your email address (the part before the "@" symbol). For example, "info," "sales," "yourname," etc.
     
• Domain:
  • Select the domain name you want to use for the email address from the dropdown menu. If you have multiple domains hosted on your cPanel account, make sure you choose the correct one.
     
• Password:
  • Enter a strong password for your email account.
  • Confirm the password by re-entering it in the "Password (Again)" field.
     
• Storage Space:
  • Specify the mailbox quota (the amount of storage space allocated to the email account).
     
• Click the Create button.

5. Confirmation:

• cPanel will display a confirmation message indicating that the email account has been created successfully.
   

6. Accessing Your Email:

• Webmail:
  • You can access your email through webmail by going to yourdomain.com/webmail or by using the webmail link that is provided inside of the cpanel email accounts section.
• Email Client (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.):
  • To configure your email account in an email client, you'll need the following information:
    • Incoming Server (POP3 or IMAP): Usually mail.yourdomain.com.
    • Outgoing Server (SMTP): Usually mail.yourdomain.com.
    • Username: Your full email address (yourname@yourdomain.com).
    • Password: The password you created.
    • Ports: You will also need the port numbers for the incoming and outgoing servers. These ports, and if SSL/TLS is required, will be displayed in the cpanel email accounts section.
• It is very important to use the correct ports, and ssl/tls settings. If you use the incorrect settings, your email client will not be able to send or receive emails.

Important Notes:

• Password Security: Use a strong, unique password for your email account.
• Storage Quota: Be mindful of the storage quota to avoid exceeding your mailbox capacity.
• DNS Settings: Ensure that your domain's DNS records are correctly configured. If you are using the cPanel provided name servers, then this is already taken care of. If you use external name servers, you may need to add an "A record" for "mail.yourdomain.com" that points to your web server’s IP address.
• SSL/TLS: Using SSL/TLS encryption is recommended for secure email communication.
