Adding email accounts

Overview

You have the ability to add new email accounts to your main account. The number of email accounts you have is determined by the hosting package you have selected and shown on the main screen of your cPanel interface.

NOTE: If you would like to add additional email accounts and do not see an upgrade package that meets your needs (see "upgrading my account") please contract us and we can create a custom hosting package for you.

Steps

1To access the Mail Menu, click on the  icon above the word Mail on the main screen of your cPanel interface.

3 Click on the words Add Account.

4 Enter the name of the account, the account's password, and the account's quota (amount of disk space the account can use) in their respective blank fields. In the following picture, sample information has been inputted.

5 Click on the button labelled create to create the account.

NOTE: If the account was created successfully, the following will appear (except it will contain the information you provided in the blank fields rather than the information provided above):

Account Created

The e-mail account documentation@cpdocs.com with the login documentation+cpdocs.com and password test with a quota of 10 megs was successfully created.

Troubleshooting

Some email clients may not recognize non-standard characters for the account name. If the account is not being created, make sure that all fields contain information before clicking on create.
