cPanel - Manage Your Email Accounts
The Mail Manager area allows you to perform many different tasks related to your email accounts. This includes creating email accounts (addresses), removing accounts (addresses), forwarding email, changing email passwords, and much more.
• From the main cPanel window, click on the Mail icon.
Create a new email account (address)
The first thing new users need to do is create a new email account (address).
• From the Mail Manager Main Menu, click "Add/Remove/Manage Accounts".
• On the Mail Account Maintenance page, click "Add Account".
• On the Add Mail Account page enter the required information.
• Choose a name for your email account (address) and enter it into the "Email" field.
• Choose a password for this account and enter it into the "Password" field. (Remember to keep it complex enough to prevent guessing. A good rule of thumb is to use a combination of letters and numbers.)
• You may also set a quota (amount of disk space that can be used up by this email account). We strongly recommend that you avoid setting the quota to unlimited (email attacks can quickly fill email quotas and leave you with no disk space left in your hosting account). In general, this value should be left at the default value.
• Once complete, click the "Create" button.
• To create more email addresses, click the "Go Back" link at the bottom of the page, and repeat the steps above.
Manage Your Email Addresses/Accounts
Once you have created one or more email accounts (addresses), you can manage them from the Mail Account Maintenance page.
From the Mail Account Maintenance page, there are a number of things you can do.
- Configure the mail client Outlook to send and receive emails
- Delete email accounts (addresses)
- Change Passwords
- Change Quotas
- Check Webmail (view, manage and compose emails using your web browser)
Configure Your Email Client
The simplist method for configuring your email client – if you use Outlook – is to simply select "Configure Outlook" from the Mail Account Maintenance screen (shown above).
However, many internet service providers do not permit their users to send email through servers other than their own. If this is the case, you will need to manually configure your email client yourself.
- User Information: enter Your Name (as you wish it to display) and your email address (you@yourdomain.com)
- Logon Information: enter User Name: you@yourdomain.com and your password.
- Server Information: enter Incoming Mail Server (POP3): mail.yourdomain.com and Outgoing Server Information (SMTP): smtp.yourisp.com
Next, click on More Settings … and:
- On the General tab: Enter your email address (you@yourdomain.com) in the Reply Email field. This will allow emails you send to appear as if the are coming from your domain address.
- On the Outgoing Server tab: Make sure to set "My outgoing mail server requires authentification" to whatever your ISP has directed.
Please note, your email client configuration may vary depending upon your client and your own ISP. Any further questions you have, should be directed to your ISP as these issues are not related to inQuis inWeb Services as your domain host. We have attempted to provide some simple solutions for our clients, but configuration of your own email client and the specifics of your ISP are beyond our scope.
