Creating and managing e-mail accounts
Updated on 3 November 2026
To create a new e-mail account: 1. Sign in to cPanel 2. Click Add / Remove e-mail accounts (under E-mail Management Tools) 3. In the Create a New Email Account section, enter the following: 1. Email: the e-mail address you want. 2. Password: make sure you enter a secure password! We recommend a password of at least 8 characters, containing digits and letters. You can have a password generated automatically by clicking Generate Password. 3. Quota: if you want to limit the disk space given to this e-mail account, you can set the limit here, in megabytes. An e-mail account with a limit of 20 megabytes, for example, can no longer receive further e-mails once that limit is reached. Please note: it is wise to check the usage of your e-mail account (under Add/Remove e-mail accounts in your cPanel) and to empty your mailbox from time to time, to make sure you receive all your mail. You can easily delete e-mails with the Webmail interface. 4. Click "Create" and take note of your new username and password. If an error occurred while your account was being created, it is shown on this page. That's it, your account is created! You can start receiving and sending e-mails from this account with the Webmail interface, or with a program of your choice such as Outlook.
