Step 1: Log in to cPanel

Start by logging into your cPanel account. Go to your hosting provider’s login page and enter your credentials. Once logged in, you’ll see the main cPanel dashboard.

Step 2: Navigate to the Email Section

In the cPanel dashboard, find the section labeled Email. Here, you’ll find various tools to manage email accounts. Click on Email Accounts to access the email manager.

Step 3: Create a New Email Account

To create a new email account, follow these steps:

1. Click Create.
2. Enter the desired email address and select the domain you wish to use (if you have multiple domains linked to your account).
3. Set a password for the account. Ensure the password is strong and secure.
4. Specify the quota (storage space) for the email account. You can either set a specific value or select "Unlimited" for unrestricted space.
5. Click Create to finalize the creation of the email account.

Step 4: Manage Existing Email Accounts

If you already have email accounts, you can manage them in the following ways:

• Edit: Change the password, quota, or other settings for an existing account.
• Delete: Remove an email account you no longer need.
• Create Aliases: Forward emails to other accounts.

Step 5: Configure Email Clients

To send and receive emails using an email client (e.g., Outlook or Thunderbird), you’ll need to configure the client with the correct settings. In cPanel, you can find detailed settings for incoming (IMAP/POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) servers under Email Client Configuration.

Step 6: Manage Forwarders and Filters

• Email Forwarding: Set up email forwarding to automatically send emails to another account.
• Email Filters: Create rules to organize incoming emails, filter spam, or sort messages based on specific criteria.

Step 7: Access Webmail

cPanel also provides webmail, allowing you to access your email via a web browser. To use webmail, click Webmail in cPanel and choose from the available services like Horde, Roundcube, or SquirrelMail.

Conclusion

Managing email accounts through cPanel is simple and offers great flexibility. By following these steps, you can easily create new accounts, manage existing ones, and configure external email clients.
