How To Create or Delete an Email Account: cPanel

This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of creating an email account in cPanel. The instructions in this guide are only applicable for email services that come with your Email Hosting, Linux hosting, Website Builder, or eCommerce Builder plans. If you've purchased a Windows Hosting plan, follow these instructions instead.

How To Create Email Accounts

1. Log in to your cPanel.
2. Go to the Email section and click Email Accounts.
3. Click the +Create button. This will open a new email account form.
4. Enter a new email address in the Username text box.
    

   NOTE: If you have multiple domains in your cPanel, you can use the Domain dropdown to select the one that you want to create the email account.

5. For the Password, do one of the following actions:
    
   • Select Set password now, if you want to manually create your own password.
   • Select Send login link to alternate email address, if you want the system to send a password creation link to a different email address. This is useful if you are creating an email account for another person, e.g., an employee, or customer.
