How to add mail account on cpanel

To add a mail account on cPanel, follow these steps:

Step 1: Log in to cPanel

Access your cPanel account by typing your domain name followed by /cpanel (e.g., example.com/cpanel) and logging in with your credentials.

Step 2: Click on "Email"

In the cPanel dashboard, click on the "Email" icon, which is usually located in the "Mail" or "Email Accounts" section.

Step 3: Click on "Add Email Account"

In the "Email" section, click on the "Add Email Account" button.

Step 4: Enter the email account details

Fill in the following information:

• Email: Enter the email address you want to create (e.g., [email protected]).
• Password: Enter a strong password for the email account.
• Password (again): Re-enter the password to confirm.
• Mailbox quota: Set the mailbox quota (the amount of storage space available for the email account).
• Default address: Choose whether you want to set up a default address for the email account (e.g., [email protected]).

Step 5: Set up email forwarding (optional)

If you want to forward emails from the new email account to another email address, click on the "Forward to" dropdown menu and select the email address you want to forward to.

Step 6: Click "Create Account"

Click the "Create Account" button to create the new email account.

Step 7: Verify the email account

After creating the email account, you'll receive an email at the new email address with a verification link. Click on the link to verify the email account.

Step 8: Set up email client (optional)

To set up an email client (e.g., Outlook, Thunderbird) to access the new email account, you'll need to configure the email client with the following settings:

• Server: mail.example.com (replace example.com with your domain name).
• Username: The email address you created (e.g., [email protected]).
• Password: The password you set for the email account.
• Port: 993 (for IMAP) or 587 (for SMTP).

That's it! You've successfully added a mail account on cPanel.
