A professional email address that matches your domain (you@yourdomain.com) builds trust and keeps your business communication separate from personal accounts. cPanel makes creating one straightforward.
Create the Account
- Log in to cPanel and open the Email Accounts tool under the Email section.
- Click Create.
- If you host more than one domain, choose the correct domain from the dropdown.
- Enter the username (the part before the @) and a strong password, or use the password generator.
- Set a mailbox storage quota, or choose Unlimited if your plan allows it.
- Click Create to finish.
Send and Receive Mail
Once created, the account is immediately usable. You can access it through webmail at yourdomain.com/webmail, or configure it in a desktop or mobile mail client.
Recommended Mailbox Settings
| Setting | Value | | -------------- | ---------------------- | | Incoming server| mail.yourdomain.com | | IMAP port | 993 (SSL) | | Outgoing server| mail.yourdomain.com | | SMTP port | 465 (SSL) | | Username | full email address |
Tips
- Use a unique, strong password for every mailbox.
- Keep quotas reasonable so a single account cannot fill the whole hosting space.
- Create role-based addresses such as info@, sales@, and support@ for different functions.
