With your web hosting account, you can create e-mail addresses that you can check via Webmail (using a web browser) or your home/office computer (using an e-mail program like Outlook Express or Eudora).

You can set up several personal e-mail addresses for your family, friends, or co-workers via cPanel. The e-mail address will be in the format username@yourdomain.com where yourdomain.com is the main domain that you signed up with.

In this short tutorial, you'll see how see how to create an e-mail address!

Step 1: Log into cPanel.

To log into cPanel, you should go to http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel/ (where www.yourdomain.com is replaced by your account domain name).

Step 2: Locate the Mail link on the main screen upon login.

You will see this link after logging in (usually on the top row, on the left side).

Step 3: Click on Manage/Add/Remove Accounts.

You will see this in the Mail Manager Main Menu (usually as the third option although it may be slightly different in your control panel).

Step 4: Click on Add Account.

You will see this link towards the bottom of the page.

Step 5: Complete the Add Mail Account form.

There are three fields that need to be filled out (some of them may be pre-filled with values).

E-mail: In this field, enter the username part of the E-mail address. (For example, if bob@domain.com were the e-mail address you wanted, you would put bob in this field.)

Password: In this field, enter a password for the E-mail address. This is the password the user would enter when checking their E-mail with their E-mail software or via the web with Webmail.

Quota (optional): In this field (normally having a default value of 10 MB), you can specify the maximum amount of server disk space the user is allowed to have (in megabytes). The default option is usually sufficient so you may pass on this field.

Step 6: Click Create!

Create the E-mail account by pressing the Create button and you are finished!
