Setting up a mailbox takes about a minute.
THE STEPS
- In cPanel open Email Accounts under Email.
- Click Create.
- Choose the domain from the dropdown if you host more than one.
- Enter the part before the @, such as info or sales.
- Set a strong password, or use the generator.
- Set the storage space. 1GB suits most mailboxes. Unlimited draws from your total account quota, which can fill the account unnoticed.
- Click Create.
ACCESSING IT IMMEDIATELY
Click Check Email beside the account to open webmail, or visit yourdomain.com/webmail and log in with the full address and its password.
SETTING IT UP ON A DEVICE
Click Connect Devices beside the account. cPanel shows the exact hostname, ports and settings for your account, and offers automatic configuration for some clients.
A COMMON MISTAKE
The username for mail is always the FULL email address, not just the part before the @. Entering only the prefix is the single most frequent cause of a mail client refusing to connect.
