How to create an email account in cPanel?

The article describes the steps to be performed to create an email account in cPanel.

Step 1: Log in to cPanel

Step 2: Select the Email Accounts option in the Email section.

Step 3: You will then see the Email Accounts page. If any accounts already exist then they will be listed here. Click on the button labeled Create.

Step 4: The Create an Email Account section will be displayed. Select the Domain that you want to use for the email account. If you have multiple domains on this account, then you will be able to click on the drop-down menu to select a different domain. If you are using only one domain on the account, then only that domain will appear and you can move to the next step.

Step 5: The next option is for setting the password for the email account. You can choose to Set password now or Send login link to alternate email address to send an email for them to set their own password. There is also a Generate option that allows you to randomly generate a secure password.

Step 7: Set the Storage Space. By default, the value is set to 1024 MB. This space is the amount of space that the email account can occupy on the server. You can set this to a particular number or you can click on Unlimited.

Step 8: After you set the storage space for the email account, you will see an option named Automatically Create Folders for Plus Addressing. This option allows for folders to be created automatically if they are using Plus Addressing. You can also set it to not create folders.

Step 9: Click on the blue button labeled CREATE in order to create the account. If you wish to stay on the same page after the account is created, then check the box labeled “Stay on this page after I click Create.”
