How to create a new email account in cPanel

Creating a new email account in cPanel is a simple process that allows you to manage custom email addresses for your domain. This feature is especially useful for business and personal websites, as it allows you to set up email accounts that match your domain name. You can create multiple email accounts, each with unique login credentials and storage limits.

By following the steps below, you can easily create and manage email accounts within the cPanel interface. You can set specific quotas, choose password settings, and access various configuration options, such as setting up email forwarding or auto-responders.

Below are the steps required to create a new email account in your cPanel.

1. Log in to your cPanel dashboard.
2. Navigate to the Email section.
3. Select Email Accounts.
4. Click Create.
5. Enter the new email address and choose the domain from the dropdown list.
6. Set a strong password for the email account.

   Ensure the password meets the recommended strength for security purposes. cPanel will show a password strength meter to help guide you.

7. Choose the storage space for the email account. Set a quota or choose Unlimited.

   Setting a quota helps manage storage usage, especially for shared hosting environments.

8. Click Create to finish the process.

   After creating the email account, you can access it through the webmail interface or configure it with an email client using the IMAP, POP3, or SMTP settings provided in cPanel.
