Email Account

This interface allows you to add and manage email accounts for your domains.

Add an Email Address:

1. Login CPanel, find the “Email” tab and click “Email Account”

2. Enter the email address that you wish to create in the Email text box. If you manage more than one domain, make certain to select the appropriate domain from the menu.

3. Enter and confirm the new password in the appropriate text boxes.

4. Enter the quota in the Mailbox Quota text box. The quota defines the amount of disk space the account may use to store email.

5. Click Create Account.

Important:

Due to mail server constraints, you cannot assign quotas that exceed 4096000 MB (4096 GB or 4 TB) on 64-bit operating systems. You must assign the unlimited value for quotas that exceed this amount.

The system calculates mailbox quota use every four hours. For this reason, you may not receive notifications immediately if an email account reaches or exceeds its quota.

Set up email client

This feature automatically configures your email client to access your cPanel email addresses. An email client allows you to access your email account from an application on your computer (for example, Outlook® Express and Apple® Mail).

To access this feature, click More for the appropriate email account, and then select Set Up Email Client.

1. Select and download the appropriate configuration file from the list.
2. Run the script file to automatically configure your email client to use the selected address.

When the configuration process finishes, your email client opens automatically and logs in to your email account.

Notes:

• An email client must already exist on your computer to automatically configure it with cPanel.
• To use an email client that the interface does not list, you must manually configure it. For more information on how to manually configure an email client, review your client's documentation on the client's website.
