How to Create and Manage Email Accounts Print

  • 0

Each hosting account allows you to create one or more personalized email accounts. The maximum number of accounts you can create is displayed in the left menu of your cPanel home page, along with other statistics and information.

To create a new email account:

  1. Log in to your cPanel.
  2. Under Popular Tools (or Mail), click on Email Accounts.
  3. In the grey top box, enter the following information:
    • Email: This will determine your email address. For example, if you enter “john” and your domain is “mywebsite.co.zw,” your email address will be “john@mywebsite.co.zw.” On the right, you'll see a dropdown menu of your domains, including parked domains, add-on domains, and subdomains. It's best to use an email address associated with your main domain.
    • Password / Password (again): Choose a secure password! We recommend using a password that is at least 8 characters long and includes both letters and numbers. You can use the Password Generator button for a secure option.
    • Mailbox Quota: If you want to limit the disk space for the email account, specify the limit in megabytes here. Once this limit is reached, the account will not accept new emails.

Note: It's important to monitor your email account usage and periodically empty your mailbox to ensure you receive all emails. You can delete emails using the Webmail interface.

  1. Click on Create Account and make sure to note your new username and password. If there is an error while creating your account, it will be displayed on this page.

That’s it! Your account is created! You can start sending and receiving emails using the Webmail interface or other software like Outlook. You may also find the following articles helpful: How to Use Webmail and Managing Email Accounts.
